Presentation

The Jesuit Historical Institute (Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu – IHSI) was founded in 1930 under Father General Wlodimir Ledóchowski. Over the years its members in Rome oversaw the publication of the biannual review Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu (AHSI), the Monumenta Historica Societatis Iesu (MHSI), the monograph series Bibliotheca Instituti Historici Societatis Iesu (BIHSI), and the series Subsidia ad historiam Societatis Iesu (SAHSI).

In the light of Father General Adolfo Nicolás’s letter of 25 February 2010 to the major superiors of the Society (published in Acta Romana Societatis Iesu, vol. XXIV (2010), pp. 931-933), the apostolate of Jesuit history at the Curia in Rome was reconstituted within the context of the Archives (Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu – ARSI). Henceforth ARSI was given an expanded mission. Among its competences is to oversee publications relating to the Society’s history. Thus the historical publications continue as part of ARSI, while retaining the publication imprint IHSI.
