Welcome to the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts United States Province Archives Online Collections!
These online collections are a sampling of our total holdings of photographs, objects, books, and archival materials. You are welcome to return to this website as often as you like, as new catalog records continue to be added. Click images below to browse, or click tabs above to search. Please visit our website for instructions on ordering high resolution digital scans of images; and for information on terms and conditions for their use.
These images include individual studio portraits, outdoor group photographs, and casual shots of members of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
This collection of photographic images features small rural missions as well as large urban parishes and their respective congregations throughout the province.
Clubs and organizations, under the guidance of Sacred Hearts priests and brothers, include Boy Scouts, Holy Name Society, and Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Poignant portraits, landscapes, and community activities are shown in these early twentieth-century photographs of the Kalaupapa leprosy settlement on Molokai. Some of the images of Kalaupapa residents show advanced stages of leprosy, otherwise known as Hansen's disease. We include their portraits to honor their memory; and with hopes that unnamed individuals will someday be identified and reunited with their families.
The Objects Collection includes liturgical articles, ecclesiastical vestments, decorative objects, carpentry tools, and personal accessories.
The Archives Collection consists of letters, diaries, manuscripts, and ephemera. Many documents are written in languages other than English.
The Library Collection contains a catalog of published works. Early publications include those printed by the Catholic Mission Press in Honolulu, from 1841 to 1889.
The Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary United States Province cordially invites you to visit our provincial archives located in Honolulu, Hawai`i. You are also welcome to view our digitized collections on this website.
