The Office for Archives and Records Management are established in accordance with Canon 482 of the Code of Canon Law, which charges the Chancellor with responsibility for records.
The mission of the archives is to collect, preserve, organize and make available for research the permanently valuable records and artifacts of this archdiocese that reflect the work of the Church, its people and institutions. The purpose of records management is to ensure that records are retained for as long as legally, historically, or operationally necessary.
The purpose of this office is to promote an understanding of the history and activities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee as reflected in its records and artifacts. It is through this mission that the Office of Archives and Records Managment participates in the strengthening of faith in southeastern Wisconsin, the United States and the Church Universal.
