SNJM Archival Fonds

The SNJM Central Archives Department keeps the archival fonds of the SNJM General Administration, Provincial Administrations, residences, educational institutions and other ministries of the SNJM Provinces of Quebec and Ontario. It also preserves the personal archives of the Quebec and Ontario members of the Congregation, as well as some fonds of individuals who have links with the congregation.
