Measurements for Sisters' Habits [was 18/06], 1923-1970
Scope and Contents
This book contains the same information as #14 for the years 1923-1933. It begins with a new list of current sisters, beginning with Provincial Superior Mother Tabitha and her council and concluding with the group of sisters received in 1923 at the new Motherhouse, Convent Ancilla Domini at Donaldson, IN. It then continues with a year by year list of sisters received or who have arrived from Europe, giving clothing ID number, religious name, habit length and veil size. No measurements for habit are given after 1937, however.
From 1955 to 1964 habit types identified by number are specified for each group of sisters being received. Sometimes the material used for the habit is also identified. From 1951 the year of final vows and later the years for interim vows are specified. In the back of the book the names of women to be received are listed by class for the years 1963 to 1967. Crosses are used to denote sisters who have died, and "x" sisters who have left the community.
