Welcome to the Manchester Archives

The Manchester Archives, comprising diocesan files and investigative materials, were made public by the NH AG as part of an agreement with the Manchester diocese, whereby the diocese avoided indictment for multiple counts of child endangerment. The files were made available to the public on a CD containing 17 very large and unwieldy PDF files.

In order to make these files more accessible, the staff of BishopAccountability.org has subdivided the original files into smaller PDFs for easier download. All the material from the original CD is now available on this Web site, organized by priest and other topics (see list below with clickable links to the PDF files). Click Here if you are interested in a cross-referenced index of NH AG and BishopAccountability.org file names, and click here for a sample of the full document list that we are preparing for this archive. Click here to view the diocese's own response to the NH AG's report.

Please contact us at staff@bishop-accountability.org to help us with the following issues related to the archives:

  • If you find a document in the archives that you believe is of special interest, please notify us, and we will add it to a "Recommended Reading" list.
  • If you notice any errors that we have made -- broken links, incorrect file names, or other problems -- please bring them to our attention and we will fix them promptly.
  • Please let us know about any other concerns you might have.

If you are using the archives and would like to prepare a full document list for a particular file, please contact us at staff@bishop-accountability.org. We would appreciate this help.

These archives are a testament to the victims and advocates who came forward about abusive priests in the Manchester diocese, and to the members of the NH AG's Task Force, whose hard work and dedication has brought the truth to light. The NH AG and his team have not assisted us in any way with this project, but the staff at BishopAccountability.org hopes that the posted files will contribute to the AG's stated goals.

Practical Note: These files are all in PDF format, and require a free PDF Reader for viewing. If you do not have a reader on your computer, click here to download the software. Most of these files are smaller than 5 megabytes, but a few are slightly larger. The average file will download in 30 to 45 seconds over a fast connection. We suggest that you click the disk icon on the PDF toolbar and save the file to your own computer once you have downloaded it. This will make it easier to page around in the file.
