Diocesan Archives, Catholic Diocese of Toowoomba
Description
The Diocesan Archives is a repository, research centre and museum of church artefacts relevant to the history of the Toowoomba Diocese. The Archives serves the wider community as a source not only of church and ‘family’ history but of local and national historical sources for research. It has become a valued part of the Toowoomba historical source network.
In addition to holding church records, the Toowoomba Diocesan Archives is also a research centre in history for Southern Queensland, so any pertinent material to aid in this is accepted and includes that of all Churches, as the centre is open to people of all religions and none.
