Administrative/Biographical History
This collection is made up of both personal files and official personnel files of the Society of Saint Edmund. There are not files for all members of the Society, especially the earliest members. For the earliest members, files usually brief biographical information. Beginning in the early 20th century, the General Administration of the Society began keeping more extensive files on personnel. These files often include biographical material, paperwork related to entrance into the Society, some academic records and some correspondence, usually personal. Records also usually include files detailing the individual's work within the Society through the years. While most files are simply the files kept by the General Administration, some also include personal papers that were moved to the Generalate upon death and then interfiled with the official personnel files.
