Scope and Contents

Card catalog created circa 1910s by Provincial Procurator Joseph Zwinge, S.J. of materials that would later comprise the Maryland Province Archives. The card catalog documents materials at the item level, and contains descriptions and dates. Cards are organized by a unique number assigned by Zwinge to each item; these "Zwinge numbers" are also written directly on the original documents. Folder descriptions in the 2022 finding aid contain Zwinge numbers when they are present; these are the second numbers mentioned (as in the bolded text, e.g.: "Former finding aid locations: 119_1_1; 100A1-100A10"). Many current folder descriptions of materials in the Maryland Province Archives incorporate information provided by Zwinge in his card catalog description.

The card catalog is comprised of 12 drawers labeled "Province Shelf List," and two drawers labeled "Province Subjects." The drawers are located in the wooden card catalog in the Special Collections stacks.
