Research Requests and Reproduction Services

The Bishop Farrell Library & Archives documents the rich heritage of the Diocese of Hamilton. Our records present a history of the Catholic church in Ontario and an account of the people in the region. We are honoured to share these histories with our Diocesan communities, academic researchers, lay historians, genealogists, and all those interested in the life and faith of the Diocese of Hamilton.  

Archives staff are available to assist with research and reproduction services. All requests must be received in writing and are subject to approval by the Chancellor. Please contact the Bishop Farrell Library & Archives at: library@hamiltondiocese.com or by phone at 905-528-7988 ext. 2270.
