Oblasser Collection
Documents in this collection pertain to the friars' work with the Tohono O'odham in Arizona during the 20th century. Updates will be posted periodically as collection work is still in progress. SBMAL would like to acknowledge and thank the American Academy of Franciscan History for the award of a 5-year grant that funded the processing and description of this unique collection.
The Oblasser Collection also consists of a book collection. Books in this collection must be requested at least 24 hours before an appointment.
SBMAL is currently closed to the public, and research request forms have been temporarily disabled at this time. Any research requests received after December 22 will be delayed.
We are working to return to normal operations as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this closure may cause.
