Marist Archives
The Marist Brothers’ main Archives are housed in the General House in Rome. The Provincial Archives are found at Sacred Heart College, Observatory. These Archives contain material going back to the early 1800’s. The Archivist, Brother Martin Whiteford FMS, is at present Superior of the Durban Community, and thus has only occasional opportunity of delving into them. In any case, the Provincial Archives deal mainly with the Congregational matters, rather than the Brothers’ own history, especially the lives of the Brothers who have worked in this part of the world. We get many requests for the Standard Six results of grandfathers who attended e.g. Marist Uitenhage in 1885! This type of information is unlikely to be found!
St Henry’s also has its own archive collection.
Queries can be sent to Brother Martin at martinw@sthenrys.co.za and he will gladly assist you.
