The essay is focused on the historiographical sources of a women’s religious congregation, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in particular. The answer to the question, «Which sources for which history?», acknowledges the value of the sources available in various religious and civil archives, both central and marginal, but it also leads to identifying further testimonies about how the sisters are represented in the Church and in society, as well as in historiography.
