Chapman Collection

During the 1940s, Oregon Province member Fr. Charls Chapman, S.J., conducted a thorough survey of as many Amerian women religious orders as he could find. In addition to a standard questionnaire, he also gathered photographs to be able to illustrate in a compendium each order's distinctive garb, for postulants, novices and professed members. The resulting collection is a dramatic view of this facet of American Catholic religious history at its high water mark. Though his work was never published, Chapman's materials were heavily used in George C. Steward Jr.'s book Marvels of Charity: A History of American Sisters and Nuns (1994).
