This series consists of records relating to the first IBVM foundation in Australia at Mary's Mount and particularly its activities as a school. Until around 1975 the activities of the Loreto Community of Sisters and their Missions in schools were combined. From around 1975 the Loreto College became independent of the Loreto Community and the school archives became separated from the Mary's Mount Province Archives. This series includes school records from its foundation in 1875 until around 1975. Some of the earlier school records, particularly those donated by past students, are held in the Loreto College Ballarat Archives as are the later school records.
