St. Francis Xavier Mission records, 1887-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/535880574

The collection contains a broad range of materials that document the history of the mission itself (1887-1965), though there are some noticeable lacunas in the administrative correspondence. Frs. Prando and Bandini have left a useful eyewitness record of the turbulent circumstances on the Crow Reservation at the time the Jesuits established their residence there; similar materials are housed in their personal papers. Photographs depict individuals and groups as well as the mission buildings and grounds. School and sacramental records are lacking in this collection, which limits its use for genealogical research to the two census compilations of the 1910s.

When the Jesuits received government permission in 1886 to locate a mission on th...
