Archives

The Holy Spirit Province Archives contains material documenting the Christian Brothers' activities in Western Australia and South Australia which commenced in 1878. These activities include such areas as child migration, agricultural schemes, educational institutions, alternative education, and refugee and indigenous welfare support and education.

The archives also administers PHIND, a computerised index detailing the location of records held in Australia for former child migrants to Catholic Homes between 1938 and 1965.

Major holdings include admission registers for former educational institutions, community annals and visitation reports, province administration records, photographs of Christian Brothers and students, textiles, and audiovisual material.

Mission
To provide a resource which will:

• Support the ongoing administration of the Holy Spirit Province
• Endeavour to ensure the preservation of documents and other records detailing the activities, mission and ministries of the Christian Brothers in Western Australia and South Australia
• Assist Province ministries to preserve their archives
• Assist past residents of Province childcare institutions, and their families, in their search for information about themselves.

Access
The Archives of the Holy Spirit Province is composed primarily of the private records of the Christian Brothers and access to these records is restricted. Therefore, access is given according to the Access Policy
