Documents without Dates

Those who visit the Archives of the University of Notre Dame to do research know our calendar as a card catalog almost as large as the collections it indexes. Archival calendars contain summaries of individual documents arranged in chronological order. We have several calendars in the archives, but the one we call "the calendar" or "our calendar" contains descriptions of documents in nineteen collections dating from 1576 to 1957, most of them from the nineteenth century:

• Catholic Church. Diocese of Hartford. (CDHT) I-1-a to I-1-c
• Catholic Church. Archdiocese of New York. (CANY) I-1-d to I-1-j
• Joseph H. McMahon. (CMCM) I-1-j
• Austin Ford. (CFRD) I-1-k to I-1-l
• James A. McMaster. (CMMA) I-1-m to I-2-m
• Richard H. Clark. (CRCL) I-2-n to I-3-b
• Orestes A. Brownson. (CBRO) I-3-c to I-5-m
• Robert Seton (CSET) II-1-a to II-2-m
• James Roosevelt Bayley. (CBAY) II-2-n
• John Dawson Gilmary Shea. (CJSH) II-2-o
• Mount Saint Mary's College. (CMNT) II-3-n to II-4-c
• Catholic Church. Archdiocese of Cincinnati. (CACI) II-4-c to II-5-h
• Catholic Church. Diocese of Detroit. (CDET) III-2-f to III-2-n
• Henry F. Brownson. (CBRH) III-3-a to III-3-i
• Vincentians. (CVIN) IV-3-i to IV-3-j
• Catholic Church. Archdiocese of New Orleans. (CANO) IV-4-a to VI-3-d
• William James Onahan. (CONA) IX-1-a to IX-2-d
• Daniel E. Hudson. (CHUD) X-2-d to X-4-j
• James F. Edwards. (CEDW) XI-1-a to XI-2-m

The order of this list reflects the order of the collections on the shelves. The location codes at the end of each item on the list correspond to the codes given at the end of each calendar entry.

The earliest documents come from the Diocese of Louisiana and the Floridas (which later became the Archdiocese of New Orleans). Many of the documents in this collection remain in original order, arranged chronologically by the date of each cover document, with related documents, generally of earlier date, filed after each cover document. The calendar also follows this order. Calendar entries for the other collections follow chronological order more strictly.

(1) 1758 Nov. 15

(2) Rochemore, Vincent Gaspard Pierre de, Chevalier, Councilor of the King in Council, Commissaire general of the Marine, Ordinateur of Louisiana.
(3) New Orleans, (Louisiana)


(4) Appoints Monsieur (Louis Alexandre) Dolaunay, church warden of the church of St. Louis in New Orleans to examine and finish the accounts of the old churchwardens and to examine old matters concerning the property of the same church.

(5) IV-4-a (6) A.D.S. 1p. 8vo. (French)
(7) 3

1. Date of the Document

Either the date appearing in the text of the document or, in the absence of such a date, a date (in parentheses) based on some other evidence and supplied by those who calendared the document. A document dated simply by month and year appears before other documents for that month, and one dated simply by year appears before other documents for that year. In the case of a large dossier, set off by long horizontal lines, a date in this position indicates the date under which particular dossier will be found. Subsequent dates, set off by short horizontal lines, refer to documents within the dossier.

2. Author of the Document

Parentheses indicate information supplied by the person who calendered the document. In the example, the signature "Dolaunay" appears on the original document and an archivist has supplied his Christian names.

3. Point of Origin

Parentheses indicate information supplied by the person who calendared the document. In the example, the original document reads "New Orleans" and an archivist has supplied "Louisiana".

4. Summary of the Text

In the case of a document sent from one person to another, the name and geographical location of the recipient appear at the head of the summary.

5. Location of the Document

Where in the Notre Dame Archives this document will be found. The document in the example used to reside in box a on shelf four of cabinet four. Although we no longer use the same cabinets and boxes, we have preserved the numbering system so as not to render the calendar obsolete.

6. Information about the Document

The nature of the particular item: the language in which it is written, the number of pages, and the size of those pages. The example is a signed autograph document, written in French, and consisting of one octavo size page. If the document had been written in English, rather than French or some other foreign language, no language indication would have been given. The abbreviation A.D. indicates an autograph document which had not been signed. D.S. indicated simply a signed document. A.L.S. indicates an autograph letter signed, A.L. indicates an autograph letter, and L.S. indicates a signed letter.

7. Number of Cross References

The number of duplicate copies made of the calendar entry, filed in the card-catalog version of the calendar.
