This page contains helpful links for Terence McKiernan’s remarks at Fordham’s Taking Responsibility webinar: Whose Stories are They? An interdisciplinary conversation about transparency, control, and the volatility of sexual abuse archives (April 10, 2024).
The online edition of the Official Catholic Directory can be accessed at this link. If you use the search function, be sure to click “Search text contents,” which is not the default. The OCR is good but not perfect, so be aware that a priest might still be listed, even if he doesn’t show up in your search. There are a few volumes missing from the Boston Public Library collection, which was scanned by the Internet Archive for this online edition. Please contact me if you have questions about those years at mckiernan1@comcast.net. Also, please email me with questions you had for me during the webinar that we didn’t have time to address. Thank you for coming! Terry
