Collection: Dunraven Papers
| Collection Description | The Dunraven Papers comprise c.15, 150 documents and c.225 volumes, 1574 and 1614-1930s, deriving from the Wyndham-Quin family of Adare Manor, Adare, Co. Limerick, Earls of Dunraven. The original patronymic of the Earls of Dunraven was Quin. The Wyndham half of the double barrel derives from the Wyndham family of Dunraven Castle, Glamorganshire, and Clearwell Court, Gloucestershire, whose heiress the future 2nd Earl of Dunraven married in 1810. The earliest document in the Dunraven archive is dated 1574, but it related to Middlesex. There is no concentration of material until the late 17th century; there is virtually no correspondence prior to 1800 ; and although other forms of estate material are fairly abundant, there are actually no rentals of earlier date than 1855. The other major disappointment about the archive relates to the very modem period. In compensation for these disappointments; there is a remarkable concentration of varied material for the middle fifty years of the 19th century, particularly for the period 1830-1870. These dates roughly coincide with the construction of a new family seat in Ireland, Adare Manor. [University of Limerick Special Collections and Archives] |
