The Catholic Religious Archives (CRA) at Boston College serves religious congregations by preserving their records, stories, and lives by which future generations can benefit.  

We are actively accepting the records of male and female religious congregations.  If you wish to inquire about transferring your congregation’s records, please see the “For Religious” page.

The CRA is currently closed to researchers, but processing is ongoing and we anticipate opening in the summer of 2026 when our new building is completed.  

In the meantime, please visit our contact page to connect with our team, we welcome your inquiries and learning about your future research interests.
