Elizabeth Ralph's first comments in her report on the Shrine archives
were : "The archives seem to consist mainly of records
assembled by A Hope Patten together with information collected on two
occasions in an attempt to write a biography of him. They also include
the official records of the institutions founded by him."
This statement still represents the core elements of the collection,
but in the intervening years much more material has been added from
many sources. Fr
Peter Cobb has amended the details of the catalogue during this time,
and now another archivist has taken over the care and development of
the collection.
This is the outline list of classes into which the material falls. More
detail will be given later, but as we have no facilities for opening
the archives to the public, and cannot answer enquiries in quick time,
we will not publish more than the outline list at present. It should
give a clear enough impression of what the archive holds.
