Holy Family Mission records, 1887-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/537669952

The mission's profile is best viewed through the collection's complete series of general status reports and house diaries. A dissertation study of its history is also included in the collection. Privation stands out as a dominant theme in the mission's administrative correspondence and legal records, as well as in the financial records themselves. This collection may serve as a reminder that admirable perseverance and self-sacrifice, intitutional as well as personal, is also an element in the history of Indian missions.
