The mission of the Archives of the Archdiocese of Seattle is to collect, organize and make available for research records of enduring value which reflect the life and work of the Catholic Church in the Pacific Northwest.  The Archives also assists parishes, faith communities, and schools in the creation of archival and records management programs.  Genealogical research is conducted on the first and third Friday of every month.

The repository and offices are located in the Chancery on historic First Hill, one block north of St. James Cathedral.  For more information, please see Staff, Hours, and Directions.
