In Our Keeping: Dominican Archivists and Historians Conference Records

The collection, from Series I through Series VII, contains materials collected by Sister Nona McGreal. This includes notes from planning meetings, tentative schedules, correspondence and materials that were saved from the various conferences themselves. The series are arranged on the order of the conferences. These materials were in no discernable order and were organized in this manner for ease of reference. This portion of the collection does not contain many of the detailed materials found in the later collection. Researchers interested in more in-depth materials aboud In Our Keeping conferences held prior to 2008 should refer to the Parable collection, which is also housed in the McGreal Center archives. Beginning with Series VIII, the materials are detailed and contain more comprehensive information concerning budget, planning, scheduling, speakers and attendees. Included in this portion of the collection are copies of keynote speeches, prayers and liturgies. Receipts, travel information, registration forms, meal plans, room assignments and schedules of events and samples of folders are included. The miscellaneous folder contains limited information about the conference that was to be held in 2002 as well as a letter from Sister Nona explaining the reasons for posponing that conference. The folder also contains undated materials from conferences held prior to the 2008 conference that may be of interest to researchers.
