Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Archives of Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology of Seton Hall University are composed of several groups of records. At the Darlington campus, records were stored in five locations in O'Connor Hall (Crocker Mansion). In 1983, just before the Seminary moved back to the campus of Seton Hall University (1984), ten boxes of these records, together with eleven labeled letterboxes and several unboxed cartons, were transferred to storage in the Archives of the Archdiocese of Newark at Seton Hall University, then housed in Duffy Hall. Some of these were stored in McLaughlin Library. Other record collections were moved to the new seminary building at Seton Hall and stored in the Records Room in Lewis Hall. The records stored in McLaughlin Library and in Duffy Hall eventually were moved to the Archives and Special Collections Department in Walsh Library in 1995. These records were accessioned and some, not all, of these records were partially processed. Over the years, some of the records in Lewis Hall were moved to McLaughlin Library and followed the same path to Walsh Library. Apparently, a significant number of records were moved in 1986. Additional records from Lewis Hall were moved in 1994, 1996, 2000, and 2004 to Walsh Library. Some, but not all, of these records were accessioned. Others were labeled and stored. In the course of this processing project, 22 boxes of additional records were transferred to Walsh Library.
Processing Information
Due to the numerous location transfers of the materials, the records lost their original unity and integrity. It was necessary to create a processing system. The system was based on that used by Seton Hall University with several modifications. The system also was based on the current organization of the seminary. It was decided to place some records in topical areas because they still possessed a topical unity. These topics include records from a succession of rectors and other administrators. In some instances, the records are clearly those of a particular administrator and are so ordered. Within the guide there are occasional reference notes to other sections of the archives that contain similar records. This processing was performed by Robert Wister, Michael Barone, Travis Lawminster, July 2005. Finding aid entered into the Archivists' Toolkit by Maura Kenny, 2011. HTML finding aid created by Tracy M. Jackson, 2014. This collection is not completely processed.
