The collection documents some of the writings of French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in their original French. The collection contains 14 mimeographs by Teilhard and includes several essay-length versions of his famous "Le Milieu Divin." The Teilhard mimeographs are arranged in alphabetical order. There is also a bit of supplementary material to round out the collection, including obituaries of Teilhard and newspaper clippings about him.
Charles J. Hennessy, born 1877, kept two diaries intermittently from 1896 until 1907. The entries are at random intervals, and of varying length. Altogether they do not provide a very complete picture of that span of years. In addition, there is a notebook of somewhat prosaic clippings, mostly from newspapers, from the early 20th c. with a few as late as the 1930s. Hennessy died in Washington in 1942.
The Horace B. McKenna, SJ Project Collection consists of recordings, transcripts, notes, and article clippings relating to an oral history project on Horace McKenna, S.J., undertaken by Joseph K. Hines in the mid-eighties. Includes "Christ is with the Poor: Stories and Sayings of Horace McKenna, S.J." edited by John Dear, S.J., and Joseph Hines (1989), which is based on many of the oral history recordings collecting by Hines.
The Rev. Stephen X. Winters, S.J. Papers comprises a miscellany of items contained in the Rev. Stephen X. Winters Estate. The manuscripts are for the most part juvenilia and student notes in Rhetoric and Greek, while the majority of the collection is made up of various family photographs, and varia found in the Estate. Also included are a number of clippings of Fr. Winters' articles from his tenure as associate editor of the Messenger of the Sacred Heart.
The recordings were "discovered" by Nicholas Scheetz, Manuscripts Librarian (2007) and duplicated for use by Georgetown University Office of the President for a project regarding Father Arrupe. See curatorial file.
The Constantin Kluge - Pierre Leroy collection consists of 34 personal, autograph signed letters from Father Leroy to his friend Constantin Kluge, in addition to first-hand background information provided by Kluge on his acquaintance with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and his circle (especially Pierre Leroy and Claude Riviere). A complete typed transcription of the 34 letters has been graciously provided by Mme. Solange Soulie, a close friend of Pierre Leroy.
The James Curley, SJ Papers contain notebooks, journals, biographical notes, correspondence, photographs, and miscellaneous documents. Of note is a personal journal (1868-1889) and a journal for the Georgetown campus greenhouse and garden (1870-1889).
