Archives and Records

The Office of Archives and Records, founded in 1992, collects and preserves the unique materials that document the management, organization, and history of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.  

Its responsibilities include the supervision of permanent archival records, the management of the active and semi-active records of archdiocesan offices and agencies, and supporting the protection, administration, and management of archdiocesan records, based on legal and canonical statutes. 

Records Management

The Office of Archives and Records supports our entities by providing standardized records policies, retention schedules, and appropriate processes for disposition. It also assists our entities with understanding those policies, procedures, and other guidelines so that the Archdiocese of Atlanta manages their records responsibly and in accordance with federal, state, local, and Canon law, regardless of format. 

Below are the policies and guidelines for managing records at the Chancery, parishes, schools, and other archdiocesan entities. If you have any questions or need support, please contact our office.
