The General Archives of the Carmelite Order

The General Archives of the Carmelite Order (AGOC) preserve the documentation produced, received, or otherwise acquired by the General Curia of the Carmelite religious order and is located at Via Sforza Pallavicini 10, Rome, at the Sant'Alberto International Center.

Currently being inventoried, this conservation institute owes much to the protection and research work of Emanuele Boaga, O.Carm., one of the greatest scholars in re carmelitana of the 20th century, as well as General Archivist of the Order from 1983 to 2013.

The Archive is open to scholars of local and international religious history (it houses documentation from the Order's Provinces around the world) and promotes events, research, and the promotion of its priceless documentary heritage: parchments from the 13th century onward, photographs, iconography of the Order's saints and places, registers of the Priors General, minutes of the General and Provincial Chapters, correspondence with the Order's Provinces, etc.

AGOC participates in the CEI-Ar project of the Italian Episcopal Conference. We invite you to consult our information page on the Registry of Ecclesiastical Cultural Institutes website: www.anagrafebbcc.chiesacattolica.it
