Search for a Record

Access records and photographs of residents in the orphanages run by our founding congregations.

Dating back to 1857, our collection of records contains details of those who once lived at a home or orphanage established by the Sisters of Mercy, Sisters of St Joseph or Christian Brothers. We also hold client records created from the start of MacKillop Family Services in 1997.

We can also support with engaging other organisations and agencies on your behalf to better help piece together your, or a loved one’s, personal history.

To request a search be made for information about yourself or a family member, please complete the form below. Try to include as much information as possible. This will help us confirm whether we have the records you are looking for.
