Formal title:
Joseph A. Doorley, Jr. papers
Extent:
158 linear feet (315 standard manuscript boxes)
Date range:
1960-1975
Abstract:
Joseph A. Doorley (1930-2022), a member of the Democratic Party, served as mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, from 1965 to 1975 during a turbulent time of economic decline and civil unrest. During his early years in office, Providence was one of the first cities to join the federal Model Cities Program and integrate its schools. However, Doorley’s time as mayor was also marked by desperate economic troubles and highly controversial urban renewal development projects. One of his signature achievements was the building of Providence Civic Center. The collection documents Doorley’s relationships with prominent political figures as well as the inner workings of various city departments. Materials span national and state politics and touch upon many important social and economic issues of his time, such as the fight for fair housing, population decline and white flight, widespread business closures, infrastructure development, and the push for anti-poverty programs. Doorley’s work with a variety of municipal associations is also well-represented. Please note this finding aid is in draft form.

Abstract:
Edward P. Doyle, O.P., Ph.D. (1907-1997) was a Catholic priest and member of the Dominican Order, who also served as Chaplain with the U.S. Army's 104th Infantry Division during World War II. Father Doyle taught philosophy and theology at Providence College before and after his service in the military. In 1943, he was commissioned as a 1st Lieutenant and assigned to the 104th Infantry Division. By April 1945, the division captured the town of Nordhausen, Germany, which they discovered was a sub-camp of the notorious death camp Buchenwald. Deeply impacted by his experiences during World War II, Fr. Doyle participated in multiple Holocaust remembrance events in the 1980s and 1990s, sharing his story with others so that it would never be forgotten. The collection is primarily composed of clippings, correspondence, and documents relating to his military service, his personal witness of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at Nordhausen, and his involvement in Holocaust memorial events. The collection also contains photographs taken in April 1945 by Fr. Doyle at the Nordhausen concentration camp. This collection has been digitized and is available in Providence College Digital Collections.
