The beginning

Hello all

First time out!

We are the archives for the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio Texas!

http://www.amormeus.org/

The congregation is filled with amazing women taking part in amazing projects around the world.

Their ministries include: Social Justice, Health care, Education, Environment and Women's Issues in such places as The United States, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Ireland and Africa.

We are starting this blog so that we can share archives projects with the public and members of the congregation around the world.

Next up: Headwaters collection

The Headwaters of the San Antonio River lie next to the University of the Incarnate Word. The congregation deeded these 53 acres to the Headwaters Coalition to be preserved as a public nature sanctuary, called the Headwaters Sanctuary. The archives has received cultural artifacts found in the sanctuary from numerous archaeological collections and as we catalogue it we will paint a picture of the history of these lands.
