Devotional pictures
This collection was assembled by Sr. de Magdala Bocklandt. She divided her collection of pictures into six sections:
1. Pictures of Mary and pilgrimages
2. Allegorical pictures 
3. Pictures with scenes from the Old and New Testaments
4. Pictures of men saints
5. Pictures of women saints
6. Miscellaneous: Holy pictures/prayer leaflets with prayers for protection, prayers for the sick, the Way of the Cross, teachings of the Church, symbols, etc.
Mortuary cards
This collection consists mainly of the mortuary cards of the Sisters, the oldest one dating from 1824.
There are also mortuary cards of lay people, profession pictures, devotional pictures, jubilee pictures, etc.
Sometimes the etchings are the only pictures of the people we have at the archives and therefore they form an interesting addition.
Objects of art and implements
This collection is divided by continent: Africa, Asia and Europe. Some implements are preserved, providing, among other things, a picture of the daily life of the local population, the Sisters and in the institutions. This collection is constantly increasing, thanks to gifts from the Sisters and institutions.
The objects of art from Africa and Asia came from two sources – one source being gifts received by the Superiors General when visiting missionary countries; the other source was objects used in the major missionary exhibitions which had a more educational role. The objects were bought or collected for this purpose.
In addition to the materials witnessing to life at the convent, the European collection consists mainly of religious objects . Monstrances, chalices, liturgical vessels and linen.
Costumes of the Sisters
The habit of the Sisters was introduced on 21 March 1805 and remained almost unchanged until 1953.
In the oldest Rule of 1816 we read:
"Art. 5. The Sisters wear a long white habit, a black scapular, a belt, corsets, a black skirt and blue or black stockings.
Art. 6. For head dress they wear a white linen guimpe without folds, beneath a black bonnet trimmed with white, a white linen head band which reaches the eyebrows and a black veil of camelot or linen. Round the neck they wear a wooden cross with a figure of Christ in brass."
On 19 July 1953 there were some major alterations. The heavily starched cotton headgear was replaced by a plastic collar and bands and the material of the dress became lighter, instead of the heavy woollen material.
In the sixties the costume underwent some rapid changes, and in 1968 it was decided that the Sisters could wear the civil dress of the country where they lived. The dress is expected to be sober, but there is no longer a uniform. Only the small cross is the same for all Sisters of Charity, all over the world.
The office of the archives hires out costumes of the Sisters of Charity under certain conditions and at the price of 17 euro per complete costume.
Plans and designs
The collection of plans and designs is rather extensive and contains documents from all houses of the Congregation, including those overseas. This collection throws some light on the history of the buildings of the Congregation and the evolution in the acquisition of properties.
Paintings, etchings, lithographs
This very diverse collection contains many pictures of Superiors General - paintings, lithographs and photos. It also contains some frames from the houses of the Congregation that are no longer in use for decorative purposes, or, as in the case of the Way of the Cross , are no longer functional.
