The digitalization and online publication of the Order’s official bulletins has finally been completed. This is the result of a prolonged process of collecting and cataloguing of all the informative material produced in nearly 60 years.
It all began with an informal initiative of students at the International College in Rome on the occasion of the General Chapter (2nd session) in 1968. The first bulletin was called “S.I.C. – Servitium Informativum Carmelitarum”. It became official very quickly, introducing a varied series of publications in different languages and formats: S.I.C. (1968-2002); Communicationes Definitorii Generalis OCD (1979-1992); S.I.C. Missionum (1982-1994); S.I.C. Pro Monialibus (1984-1991); Communicationes OCD (from 1993 to the present day: from 2003 being issued from the General Curia in an exclusively digital format.
In the “Bibliotheca Carmelitana Digitalis section of the www.digicarmel.com search engine, we can now offer an inexhaustible mine of information on the recent life of the Order (names, persons, places, events, news items and activities of all sorts). These can be consulted on PDF and they complete the double collection of the Official Acts of the Order: Analecta OCD (1926-1953) and Acta OCD (from 1955 to the present day).
