The Vincentian Collections include archives, books, and maps relating to the history and legacy of St. Vincent de Paul and the religious orders he founded and influenced. The DeAndreis-Rosati Memorial Archives includes correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, and records from parishes, schools, seminaries and individuals about the educational, mission and organizational work of the Western Province of the Congregation of the Mission (the Vincentian order). Book and map holdings range from items available to St. Vincent de Paul during his lifetime (1581-1660), titles published before 1818 and brought from Europe to the United States by the first Vincentians to found a seminary near St. Louis, and more contemporary scholarship relating to the Vincentian Studies Institute.
