Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 20 You have heard the report of the Secretary, and, considering the amount of financial assistance which the Treasurer's report shows we have received, the results of the past year are certainly creditable to those faithful workers who have taken an interest in our Society. Our requirements, unfortunately, are far in excess of the support accorded to us. We need $4,000 to pay off all indebtedness, none of which, however, is pressing; we need a fund to purchase books and manuscripts; and above all we need a permanent fund, the interest of which can be devoted to historical research. There are many priceless treasures, fast going to decay, hidden away in dark corners. These treasures should be unearthed, brought to light and put in permanent form, to inspire and encourage us. History, we are told, is the record of the past. Much of it should be buried in oblivion; but the history of the Catholic Church in America, the struggles of the early pioneers, their devotion to their religion, their charity towards their fellowmen, is not a mere chronicle of events, for it teaches us a lesson and gives us an incentive which we sadly need in this material, selfish age.

Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 7 So much for the ancestry of the main subject of my paper and the political loyalty of Sir John Rawson. But few facts relating to the early life of Keating Raw son have been handed down to us of the present day. In accordance with the usage common in good families of the time, it is probable that he was educated at home by pri vate tutors.

Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 4 After an interval of two years, we again bring out a new volume of the Records of the American Catholic Historical Society. Beginning with this year a volume will be published annually in four quarterly parts, in March, June, September and December. By this change we will be able to issue double the quantity heretofore published, and will have it in our subscribers hands, much more promptly. This is rendered possible by the growing interest in historical research, and the appreciation which has been shown of the value of the Society's work in this direction, as evidenced by a largely increased membership. The Society is not responsible for any opinions expressed or any statements of facts made in the various papers published.

Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 28 We are forced to see again and again valuable historical material pass forever beyond our grasp because we are too poor to purchase it. Though our library numbers about ten thousand volumes, yet many books which we should possess are not on our shelves because of our poverty. This is especially the case with rare Americana. We are, to quote but one instance, sadly lacking in literature relating to the first of American Catholics, Christopher Columbus, our Columbian collection being outnumbered forty-four to thirty-two by the Philadelphia Free Library. The library of a Catholic Historical Society should be an adequate work-shop for the delver into the history of the Church in America. He should come to our library with assurance of finding there the books which he needs. Not only is our collection of printed books too limited, but the American Catholic Historical Society is not the archive which it should be where the unpublished and, so to speak, raw materials of history are stored. For example, here should be found, at least in manuscript, a detailed history, written by a local investigator, of every parish, every Catholic educational and charitable institution, every Catholic activity in the country. Had we the money with which to conduct it, a nation-wide and coordinated investigation would bring all this priceless material to our society. Some years ago we had the good fortune to be able to pay an archivist at the Vatican to reproduce all documents to be found at that central archive which related to the Church in America. It is surprising how many until then unknown documents were thus brought to light. It is often astonishing how much unpublished and original information remains to be unearthed even on subjects supposed to have been exhaustively investigated.
