The Archbishop Henry K. Moeller Records consist predominantly of records generated during his tenure as the Archbishop of Cincinnati. These are mostly paper records in the form of correspondence with the archbishop and reports. Bishop Moeller took control of administrative duties of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 1903-1904. Upon the death of Archbishop William H. Elder in 1904, Moeller became the Archbishop of Cincinnati, which he remained until his death in January, 1925. Records created during his time as coadjutor and as archbishop are in one continuous record series. The outgoing correspondence is in a separate record series. The miscellaneous series includes records that are both official and biographical, including a Moeller family tree, samples of tax returns, and funeral clippings. Files from the Archbishop's office include legal cases with Annunciation Church and St. Stephen Hungarian Church, his nomination as bishop, and official documents from Rome.
