The Archives of the District of San Francisco New Orleans serves as the final repository for the organizational memory of the District of San Francisco New Orleans, as well as those of the former Districts of San Francisco and New Orleans-Santa Fe.
The Archives assists in the mission of the De La Brothers and Lasallian Partners who serve in the District by identifying, acquiring, arranging, and preserving official records and historical artifacts created by the San Francisco New Orleans District and all of its institutions. (This also includes the separate collections from the former San Francisco and New Orleans-Santa Fe Districts).
Archive materials generally are available for viewing and/or research, with the exception of records classified as confidential.
Materials include:
- Administrative records of the Districts.
- Administrative records of schools and other ministries.
- All publications created by the District and its institutions, such as magazines, newspapers, newsletters, yearbooks, brochures, and pamphlets.
- Media such as photographs, negatives, slides, video, audio, cassettes, microfilm, CDs, and DVDs.
- Maps, charts, and architectural drawings.
- Artifacts and memorabilia relating to the Districts and their institutions.
In order to keep complete records of the Districts’ schools and other institutions, the Archives depends on contributions of suitable materials from the Districts and its institutions.
Contact us about research requests or donating materials.
