Heritage and Research Center
About HARCThe Heritage and Research Center at Saint Mary’s preserves and advances the shared history, mission, and legacy of women religious and their sponsored ministries through partnership, collaboration, and accessible research. |

The Mission of the Heritage and Research Center at Saint Mary’s is to preserve and honor the rich history of women religious and their sponsored ministries through partnership and collaboration with congregations and Saint Mary’s College.
Recognizing that many congregations were nearing completion, several Midwest congregations explored collaborative preservation efforts. In April 2018, a Day of Dreaming convening launched discussions that led to HARC. These communities founded hospitals, schools, and outreach programs — HARC preserves those stories and makes them accessible for research and public understanding.

In addition to our partnership with ten congregations, HARC is a founding member of the National Archives Project for Women Religious (NAPWR). This initiative focuses on creating and enhancing repositories to preserve the legacies of women religious in the United States.
