The digital exhibit, Treasures from the Catholic Research Resource Alliance: Women Religious, began\u00a0with the idea of highlighting some of the rare and unique resources that are available as bibliographic citations and finding aids through the Catholic Resource Research Alliance (CRRA)’s<\/a> consortial database, the Catholic Portal<\/a>. Women religious is one of the major collection themes of the Alliance, however, unlike other kinds of materials, many of these resources have not been fully documented or cataloged and it is often frustrating for researchers to locate them. One of the best methods still is by consulting the out of print book, \u201cWomen Religious History Sources: a Guide to Repositories in the United States,\u201d edited by Evangeline Thomas, with the assistance of Joyce L. White and Lois Wachtel [New York: R.R. Bowker, 1983].<\/p>\n

In the process of creating the exhibit, we assembled an ad-hoc advisory board, composed\u00a0of Margaret Susan Thompson, Professor, the Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs, Syracuse University; Diane Maher, Associate Professor University Archivist\/Special Collections Librarian, University of San Diego; Jennifer Younger, Executive Director, Catholic Research Resources Alliance;\u00a0Sally Witt, Archivist, Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden;\u00a0and Denise Gallo, Provincial Archivist Daughters of Charity\u00a0to suggest institutions and collections. All of us hoped that the exhibit would highlight the spirituality and courage of these women who serve as health and educational professionals, as missionaries and social workers, and who live their lives as part of a community of faith.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, Tracy Jackson and I decided to let the images speak for themselves.\u00a0 You will see a wide range of images, many of them never published that include postcards, photographs, and letters.\u00a0 The materials can be browsed by institution, format, subject, location and time period. The exhibit will be live and active until October 31, 2013, after which it will remain available but will not be monitored.<\/p>\n

Nota bene: This Website was\u00a0created \u00a0by\u00a0Thomas McGee using WordPress. We are grateful for his sound design and for the help of his colleague, Michael Soupios, the Associate Director for Digital Media at Seton Hall University’s Teaching, Learning and Technology Center.<\/p>\n
