There are limited records, in the form of enrolment registers, and some photos, for St Mary's Elm Court, Moss Vale, All Hallows College Bathurst and School for Deaf Girls Waratah.
     
  Mission: The archives exist for
a) the preservation and conservation of the records of the Dominican Sisters
accumulated in the practice of their ministries, and the development of the Congregation;
b) provision of an information service;
c) promotion of the work of the congregation;
d) ongoing sharing of the broad and ancient Dominican Story.
