Archives

The Augustinian archives are the memories of our Irish province. As such, they have been generated by Augustinian Friars over many years. Therefore, we are committed to preserving these important historical records of Augustinian life. Additionally, our historical records are significant within the wider Irish context, as they trace social, political and economic change within Ireland. Furthermore, our archives contain an international element, as many of our Friars have travelled on the missions. For instance, Augustinian Friars have journeyed as far as Ecuador, Nigeria and Kenya. In doing so, our friars have spent much of their lives living with the peoples of these countries. Consequently, we have records from our friars’ many travels worldwide.

Therefore, these historical records are incredibly important to us, but they are also valuable as snapshots of a different Ireland. As we value and support historical research into our archives, we strive to make them available to researchers. However, our archives are currently inaccessible to the public due to ongoing renovations. We want to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause researchers. We will endeavour to have the archives available again in the future. In the meantime, our Archives Policy can be viewed and downloaded below.
