| Summary: | This fonds consists of the records created and received by St. Bernard Hospital between its foundation in 1903 and 1991. Records predating 1903 also can be found in the fonds, in the form of real property records created prior to 1903 and given to the Sisters or Father Murray at the time of purchase of the land. Close examination of accession 92.40 revealed that it contained the records of three different organizations, and, thus, three separate fonds: St. Bernard Hospital Community, St. Bernard Hospital, and St. Bernard's School of Nursing. The records described in file list 84.10 also originated from these fonds. Consequently, all the records belonging to the Hospital fonds were reunited, and, since the original order was impossible to reconstruct, divided into series and subseries based on documentary form or function. |

| Item Description: | The records comprising the St. Bernard Hospital Community fonds follow two custodial paths. Most of the records in the fonds were transferred to the local archives at St. Bernard Convent following preliminary appraisal work in 1978, 1980, and 1985 by Sister Loretta Gaffney, Provincial Archivist, in 1988 by Sister Gaffney and Paul Banfield, Archivist, and in 1989 by Sister Gaffney and Archivist Michele Chittenden. Sister Gaffney returned in June 1992 with Heather Gordon, Archivist, to prepare the records for shipment via United Parcel Service to Amherstview for arrangement and description. At Amherstview, the records were accepted as accession 92.40. Approximately 30 cm of the fonds, however, had been in the custody of St. Joseph Province Archives for a number of years. This material had been arranged by Paul Banfield and described by him in file list 84.10. Finding aid created according to Rules for Archival Description (Canadian Council of Archives).
