EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1937, captures the historic St. Augustine Parish Records in St. Johns County, Florida. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the United States, specifically the deep-rooted Catholic tradition in this coastal community. Established in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the continental United States. The Parish Records, housed in this elegant, ornate building, date back several centuries, providing invaluable insights into the lives of the early settlers and their descendants. Johnston, an accomplished American photographer, captured the essence of this historic site with her camera. The photograph showcases the intricately designed room, filled with rows upon rows of candles and countless documents. The flickering candles cast a warm, inviting glow over the records, adding a sense of reverence and solemnity to the scene. This photograph is a precious piece of history, not only for the St. Augustine community but for the nation as a whole. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our past and the role that religious institutions play in shaping our collective heritage. The photograph is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, where it continues to inspire and educate generations about the history of the United States. This image, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1937, remains a powerful and evocative representation of the past and the enduring legacy of St. Augustine Parish Records.
