Scope and Contents
The following description was copied from the USC Digital Library's collection landing page for the Immaculate Heart Community Oral Histories on March 6, 2023.
When the Immaculate Heart Community of California assumed lay status in 1970, Doris Murphy, IHM, undertook a comprehensive collection of oral interviews with 138 of the founding members. The 114 interviews selected for the collection were completed between 1970 and 2009. We hear the courageous voices of religious women shaping their future with purpose and humor after being removed from schools by the conservative Catholic Cardinal of Los Angeles. The Immaculate Heart Community provided these interviews as part of the L.A. as Subject Digital Residency Program, 2019-2022.
