Christian Science Churches & Reading Rooms, 60 W Adams St, Chicago, IL 60603, US

The Richard R. Seidel Archives of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago is a major repository of church and American history. Housed in a secure and climate-controlled facility in the heart of Chicago's Loop, the archives hold a vast collection of over 1,300 archival boxes, including documents dating back to the beginnings of The Episcopal Church in the Midwest in the 19th century. The collection provides valuable insights into the settlement of church and society in rural, urban, and suburban settings, as well as the church's involvement in social and industrial issues of the time. The archives also serve as the repository for the archival collections of the Claretian Missionaries of North America and the Cenacle order of Roman Catholic women religious. With a dedicated historiographer and a team of advisors, the archives offer consultations and support for maintaining parish and mission archives. Scholars and researchers can access the archives' reading room, while the separate office-library provides a space for the historiographer to oversee the custody and preservation of the diocese's historical documents.Generated from the website
