Series 6 - General Correspondence (1976-2007)

20 cm of textual records.

The series consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence between Archbishop Collins and other Canadian Bishops, priests of the Archdiocese of Edmonton, his family, members of the laity, Archdiocesan staff and various other people on a variety of personal, administrative and spiritual topics.

For the most part this series is arranged in chronological order, however there are a few files that are grouped by subject (for example correspondence re: Vocations).
