Additional Description

Alphabetical by country or region. Arrangement assigned by the original collector has been maintained.

Provenance

Because the current accessioning system was not used until January 1986, it is not possible to know exactly the dates of acquisition of materials received before that time. Notes from 1986 indicate that these materials were originally transferred from the Boston College Jesuit community.
