Description:
Here is presented the eleventh and final extract from the calendar of the papers of Dr John Hamilton (1800-62), dean and later archdeacon, and secretary to Archbishop Murray of Dublin. The papers calendared below are contained in the files numbered 36/7 to 37/4 and cover the years 1845-60. Additional calendars of some undated material have not been included in this publication but are available in the diocesan archives. The calendaring of the Hamilton papers was entirely the work of the late Mary Purcell, who had previously produced a calendar of the Murray papers, also published in several instalments in Archivium Hibernicum. Ms Purcell was the first person to undertake the considerable task of cataloguing the records contained in the Dublin diocesan archives. Her labours have contributed greatly to making the archives more accessible to researchers.Dublin Diocesan Archives File 36/7 Papers of Archdeacon John Hamilton, 1845-6
