In early 1896, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth came to Wadowice. They founded a nursery for impoverished children as well as a workshop where girls received vocational training. In December 1896, the second house of the congregation was established- alongside the city hospital. Originally, four sisters were hired on the basis of a contract with a municipality of the city. The sisters took care of patients and worked in the administration. Since then, they participated in the development of the institution. Religious authorities oversaw that only sisters with appropriate qualifications were sent to work in the hospital. During the First World War, two sisters were infected with typhus and died. The sisters cared for sick civilians and wounded soldiers during the battles on the front. During the Second World War, they decided to stay in Wadowice to help the hospital with partisans and prisoners being transported from Auschwitz concentration camp. During the years 1945-1949, there were fifteen or sixteen sisters worked in the hospital. With political changes taking place in Poland and the communist authorities coming to power in 1950, sisters started to be gradually removed from the hospital. The last Sister of Nazareth was dismissed in 1956. The cooperation between The Congregation of the Sisters and the hospital in Wadowice lasted 60 years. In the years of 1896-1956, there were over 60 sisters employed in the institution altogether.

The Diocesan Archive in Kielce was established in 1939 by Bishop Czesław Kaczmarek in the first year of his pastoral work in the diocese of Kielce. In the same year, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth settled down in Kielce with a view to running a female secondary school. This educational institution existed until 1960 when it was closed down by the authorities which implemented their policy aiming at liquidating Catholic schools. In 1962 the sisters, acting on Bishop Czesław Kaczmarek’s suggestion, began working in the diocesan Curia and the local parishes. In 1969 the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth were employed in the Diocesan Archive in Kielce. From the very beginning, they were responsible for the record collection; they catalogued and described archival units, cleaned and conserved documents, as well as keeping the storeroom clean. During the economic crisis in the 1980s, the sisters employed in the archive demonstrated responsibility and practical abilities while using the simplest, not easily available materials for the conservation, inventorying and description of the records. Despite the lack of the professional training, they became archivists-practitioners though long-time involvement in their work. A large number of researchers, students, historians and genealogists constantly make use of sisters’ work which is the effect of their effort put in preserving the collection of the Diocesan Archive in Kielce.
