The Irish College at Paris had existed at various locations in the city since 1677. In 1858 the Irish Bishops entrusted it to the Vincentians, who governed it until 1984. It took in no Irish students for the priesthood after 1939, though the then Rector, Father Patrick Travers CM, remained in residence until 1945, and was non-resident Rector until 1972. After the Second World War, the Irish Bishops made the College available to the Seminaire Polonais de Paris. When they left in the late 1980s, the College was redeveloped as an Irish Cultural Centre.

Some of the material will have come into the Archives from the Provincial files, but a large amount seems to have come from the Irish College, Paris, itself: probably brought to Ireland on the closure of the College as a seminary, or afterwards, when confreres were non-resident rectors up to 1984.
