The records of St. Agnes Hospital and School consists of correspondence (1924, 1927), documents relating to building requirements (1944, 1946-1949), and audits and financial reports (1945-1952). Correspondence is also present from ACI’s Director (with the Bishop of North Carolina, 1942, 1944-1947) and its Executive Secretary (with St. Agnes’ administrator, 1953-1955, 1958). A pamphlet and articles (1923, 1929, 1933) provide historical information of the hospital and school. This series includes a survey report of the school by the George Peabody College for Teachers (1946). While St. Agnes was a separate entity, it resided on St. Augustine’s campus and thus references to St. Augustine’s College can be found in these records.

This minimally processed collection is the archive of the Society of St. Margaret. The historical records of the Society are strongest in representing activities in several areas: the mother house in Boston, its governance and daily work routines, the work of St. Monica’s Home (including annual reports and other records), the Haiti mission in post-WWII years, the Duxbury convent and summer camp, and several of the houses and missions in other cities. There are also correspondence and diaries of individual sisters as well as a large photographic collection reaching back to St. Margaret’s Infirmary and the Children’s Hospital, both in Boston, and including many photos of the sisters both in portraiture and activities. The arrangement represents basic groups of records, but the collection has not yet been arranged into fonds and series.
