The new finding aid to the Maryland Province Archives is now available. This new finding aid represents a complete reorganization of the Maryland Province Archives that began in October 2019, as well as the addition of 90 boxes of Addenda materials and the integration of a previously separate collection (the Maryland Province Collection).
The finding aid reflects a new series arrangement, new scope and content notes, updated folder descriptions, and cross-references to both the previous finding aid and the Georgetown Slavery Archive. The new finding aid also clearly labels all folders that contain materials pertaining to Jesuit slaveholding and the 1838 sale.
This finding aid replaces the former finding aid (GTM119). If you need assistance locating materials using older citations, please contact staff at the Booth Family Center for Special Collections.
