Series 1, the Records of the Provincial, documents the formation of missions, Houses of Jesuit formation, colleges (including Georgetown College), and houses for the entire Maryland Province under its various iterations. This series includes the correspondence of the Provincial, documents related to membership, records of the Special Visitor sent from Rome that laid the groundwork for the foundation of the Maryland Province, and records of the Missouri Mission.

Some folders in this series contain references to slavery, slaveholding, and enslaved individuals. Some folders in this series contain documents addressing the Province's 1838 sale of 272 enslaved individuals. Relevant folders are identified.

NOTE: Most materials dated 1900 and later have not been digitized. Materials dating 1900-1939 are available for research use at the Booth Family Center for Special Collections. All materials dated 1940 and later are restricted.

Because all of the material in Subseries 1.5 is dated 1900 or later, it has not been digitized.
