The Office of Archives and Records serves as the official repository for the records of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. This office is responsible for developing and monitoring an efficient records-management program for identifying, collecting, describing, protecting, and making available the historical records of the archdiocese.

The present Archdiocese of New Orleans includes eight civil parishes in the greater New Orleans area: Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John, St. Tammany, and Washington. In addition to housing materials for these civil parishes, the archives also holds material from earlier periods when the archdiocesan boundaries included most of the present-day state of Louisiana.
