New Resource: State Papers Online Part IV.

The fourth and final part of State Papers Online, Part IV: The Stuarts, 1603-1714: State Papers Foreign, Scotland, Borders, Ireland and Registers of the Privy Council, completes a series which offers students and researchers unprecedented access to documents covering the full range of the Tudor and Stuart governments’ domestic and foreign activities. The final installment comprises foreign relations papers from the late Stuart period (1603-1714) with correspondence between the British governments and those of Europe, Barbary (modern Morocco), Russia, Turkey, Scotland and Ireland.

The Library, the School of History and Humanities and the Provost Office worked together to source funding for the purchase this final part of State Papers.

Monasticon Hibernicum - new, free, resource

Monasticon Hibernicum Project:
Early Christian Ecclesiastical Settlement in Ireland 5th to 12th Centuries.
by Ailbhe MacShamhráin with Nora White and Aidan Breen.
General director of the project Kim R. McCone, Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh, Ollscoil Náisiúnta na hÉireann, Magh Nuadat.

Inspired by the monumental Monasticon Hibernicum of eighteenth-century antiquarian and clergyman Mervyn Archdall (available to TCD-affiliated users via ECCO), the project [by Ailbhe MacShamhráin with Nora White and Aidan Breen] is more than a revised version of Archdalls opus. While Archdalls encyclopedia of pre-Reformation monasteries and abbies covered some five-hundred and fifty sites in eight-hundred pages, this database of pre-twelfth century ecclesiastical settlement is much wider in scope, recording ten times the number of sites.

This database has been included on the TCD Databases and E-Books, New Resources page and will be included in the catalogue in due course.
