NAABOD records
Scope and Contents
This collection includes a guidebook prepared for Benedictine Oblate Programs in the early days of NAABOD and some of the materials related to the annual meetings of the organization. The Benedictine Sisters of Chicago used material like this as they prepared and developed their own Oblate Program. There is a set of reports with excerpts of meeting minutes from national conferences. There are also two manuals, one for Oblates and one for Directors of Oblates.
