The Community History Archives of The Catholic Globe contains nearly 40,000 historical pages from 1949-2020. 

The Catholic Globe is a weekly newspaper based in Sioux City, Iowa, that serves the Catholic community of the Diocese of Sioux City.

The Catholic Globe has been an essential part of the Diocese of Sioux City’s history, documenting its growth and evolution over the years.

The Diocese of Sioux City was established in 1902, and it covers 24 counties in western Iowa, with a Catholic population of approximately 98,000 people. The Diocese has a rich history, with many notable events and milestones over the years, including the construction of the Cathedral of the Epiphany in 1902 and the establishment of Briar Cliff University in 1930. The Diocese of Sioux City has also played a significant role in the growth and development of the Catholic Church in Iowa and beyond.

One of the most remarkable aspects of The Catholic Globe is its community history archive, which can be accessed at https://catholicglobe.historyarchives.online. The archive contains a wealth of historical information about the Diocese of Sioux City, including articles (and the photographs within them) dating back to 1949. The archive is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in learning more about the history of the Diocese and its Catholic community.
