The items from the Pompallier collection include administration records for the diocese, official church documents but also more personal documents from Pompallier including correspondence. One item caught my eye - a small hard cover note book listed as “Bishop Pompallier’s sermons and notes 22 Nov 1853 to Easter 1859.”
The following pages are from that note book (POM 6-2).

The archives also holds published volumes that belonged to Bishop Pompallier and are signed by him. Keeping with the Easter theme of this post, here are pages are from Bishop Pompallier’s Roman Missal printed in 1823.
I discovered the artwork in Pompallier’s 1823 Missal appears to be copied from the Missals published in 1677 and 1688. We have Missals published over the past six centuries in the book collection.
