Jenny Delves, Diocesan Archivist
The Diocesan Archives is the repository for the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. The Archive holds the episcopal and administrative records of the Diocese from its foundation in 1850 to the present day, telling the story of the Archdiocese and its mission.
Please visit the Archive’s website: https://www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/ministry/diocesan-archives/
The records in the Diocesan Archive tell the story of the Archdiocese of Southwark and its mission.
They include the papers of the bishops/ archbishops; material relating to finance, property and education; chancery records; files on religious houses and seminaries; parish files; deanery records; information on Southwark clergy; and records on St George’s Cathedral.
There is also a collection of early printed books, predominantly works of theology and church history, and complete series of Southwark Diocese publications such as The Southwark Record and the Southwark Catholic Directory.
Several collections have been deposited in the Diocesan Archive. These include the archive of St John’s Seminary, Wonersh.
Access to the Diocesan Archives is by appointment only and at the discretion of the Diocesan Archivist. All readers must register and complete an Archive User Agreement form before being granted access to the archive material.
