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.
