Vincentian Heritage Collections

Welcome to the Vincentian Heritage Collections, a source for digital materials pertaining to St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and the myriad congregations and organizations surrounding them. Here you will find important Vincentian biographies, periodicals, and archival materials in several languages, as well as a small collection of digitized texts. Many of these materials have been copied from original documents, or are digitized copies of microfilm, and quality may vary. All materials are freely downloadable, with the understanding that material may be duplicated for personal research use or educational purposes in electronic or print form, in accordance with the terms of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (1988).

This digital collection is a cooperative effort between the DePaul University Division of Mission and Ministry, DePaul University Library, and the Vincentian Studies Institute. As it is an ongoing project, with new texts added regularly, we would greatly appreciate your input. Please email us at [email protected] if you notice an error or have a suggestion.

Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac, and Elizabeth Ann Seton, as well as the religious orders they founded and influenced.
