Archdiocese of Santa Fe Institutional Abuse Collection

 Collection
Identifier: MSS-1146-DC

Scope and Contents

The Archdiocese of Santa Fe (ASF) Institutional Abuse Collection was created as a part of the 2022 settlement agreement between the ASF and survivors of clerical sexual abuse. The final settlement included approximately 400 claims taking place between the 1950s and the 2010s. Documents include deposition transcripts, personnel files, meeting minutes, and proofs of claims. These records are online and available to the public with redactions to protect the privacy of claimants and their families.

The collection is separated into two main series. Series 1, Archdiocese of Santa Fe Abuse Records, contains all the documents provided by the ASF for inclusion within the archives. Series 2, Hall and Monagle LLC Records, contains the documents provided by one of the law firms which represented claimants for the Archdiocese’s bankruptcy and settlement case. Further accessions are welcome from anyone who wishes to opt-in with relevant records.

Further records are being processed and will be added to the collection on an ongoing basis.
