Administrative history

L'Arche Trosly-Breuil was the first of the L'Arche International communities, located in Trosly-Breuil, France and created by Jean Vanier in 1964. L'Arche Trosly-Breuil began when Vanier became increasingly aware of the difficulties that individuals with developmental disabilities face through his connections with Father Thomas Philippe. Vanier began his work when he took two men, Raphael Simi and Philippe Seux, out of an institution and invited them to live with him in his home in Trosly-Breuil and named their home L'Arche, or "The Ark". L'Arche Trosly-Breuil was the first of the L'Arche communities, which have now expanded within forty countries worldwide.

Custodial history

The compact disc material was transferred to the Kelly Library Archival and Manuscripts Collections by Sue Mosteller in March 2009. The audio cassette material was gathered by Simone Landrien at L'Arche Trosly-Breuil. These materials were then given to Sue Mosteller, who transferred this material to the Archives on February 9, 2010.

Scope and content

Henri J.M. Nouwen was a close friend of Jean Vanier and was invited to join the L'Arche Trosly-Breuil and was an active member of their community from August 1985 to May 1986. His experiences at Trosly-Breuil are published in his work, "The Road to Daybreak". The fonds consists of eleven audio cassettes of lectures and retreats given by Nouwen. The fonds also contains one compact disc of photographs of various subjects, including Nouwen. The records range in date from 1985 to 2008.
The Fonds has been organized into two series:

  1. Sound Recordings
