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.

- Abstract: The Society of St. Margaret was founded in England by the Rev. John Henry Neale in 1856. In 1873, the Society expanded to Boston, Massachusetts, with the establishment of St. Margaret’s House for Sisters ministering to the sick at Boston Children’s Hospital, a ministry that lasted until 1917. In addition to nursing, the Society founded ministries in children’s education and the support of elderly people both in the United States, Canada, and Haiti. Today, the Society continues its work in Boston, New York at Trinity Wall Street, and Port-au-Prince.
