Mission Statement
ModuleThe Archival Center, located at the San Fernando Mission,
serves as a repository for documents, books and related materials
pertaining to the history of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and
its predecessor jurisdictions in California since 1840. Its purpose
is to collect, preserve, interpret and provide access to these materials.
The Archival Center also conducts a variety of "reach out"
programs involving the editing and publication of materials for
the benefit of the historical and ministerial community. |

| San Fernando Mission, seventeenth of the frontier institutions established along the El Camino Real, is primarily a museum, operated as a window to California's Catholic past. Its purpose is to collect and display historical artifacts relating to evangelization prior to 1840 in an authentic colonial environment. By extension, the museum also serves the spiritual function of a chapel-of-ease by providing Sunday and Weekday Masses. Marriages and funerals also take place at the Old Mission. | ||
