The
introduction
of English institutions to Ireland after the arrival of the Normans,
and
the close administrative ties that existed between the two countries
during
the rest of the middle ages resulted in a wealth of archival sources on
both sides of the Irish Sea. This book serves as a practical
introduction
to these sources, in both manuscript and printed form, from the 12th to
the 15th centuries. The institutions, central and local, which produced
the records are described and the records placed in their
administrative
context. Advice is given on the scope and limitations of the surviving
sources, and special attention is paid to the existence of substitutes
for the records destroyed in 1922 in the Four Courts fire. In addition
to the records of central and local government, ecclesiastical records
in Ireland and abroad are dealt with, as are the private records of
major
Anglo-Irish families. Information is provided on the existence of
guides,
lists and indexes which facilitate access to unpublished material in
various
record repositories.
