Scope Note

This manuscript collection of Hibernica has as its source the Irish antiquarian and barrister, John D'Alton (1792-1867). D'Alton achieved fame during his lifetime as the writer of histories of Drogheda, Boyle, and the County Dublin, and as “the result of upwards of thirty years' devoted application of study, time, and income” accumulated a great collection of material bearing on the topography, genealogies, and general history of Ireland. Although a small portion of D'Alton's manuscript notebooks were sold before 1924, in that year his grand-daughter presented the collection to the Reverend Patrick S. Dineen, the celebrated Irish scholar, with the stipulation that it “be deposited by you in any manner you think fit.”

The notebooks are grouped under 77 titles, based on a 19th century inventory compiled by D'Alton. Many of the titles are multi-volume. Titles 1, 18, 19, 24, 30, 34, 40, 60, 62, 66 and 67 were sold or removed from the collection before its receipt by the University of Chicago. The collection also includes a small group of D'Alton's correspondence and miscellaneous notes accumulated during his antiquarian activities.

Also included as part of the collection as received by the Library are a number of descriptions of the collection as the inventory of the notebooks mentioned above, an analysis of the collection by Seamus O'Cassidy, and a transcript of an obituary of D'Alton which appeared in the “Irish Times”. This descriptive material is retained in the departmental holdings file.

So far as is known the 153 notebooks assembled by D'Alton have never been closely studied after his death. As O'Cassidy suggests in his description of the collection, “To estimate the value of the collection ... would necessitate a prolonged study of the manuscripts themselves and the numerous important publications on Irish history, topography, and genealogy which have appeared since the manuscripts were compiled”. To some degree, at least, the subsequent published work of such 19th century Irish scholars and antiquarians as Eugene O'Curry, John O'Donovan, George Petrie, and William Reeves has made it unnecessary to consult such derivative sources as these but D'Alton's notebooks may possibly contain transcripts of records which were destroyed by the burning of the Record Office and Record Treasury in Dublin in 1922. Aside from the typewritten appendix to this description, a list of the original notebooks exists also as an appendix to D'Alton's Annals of Boyle (1845). Besides serving as notebooks, the volumes are also D'Alton's indexes to printed and manuscript sources which he intended to use in writing his historical works. Originally some 200 of these notebooks existed, mostly written in D'Alton's hand, but many of them are only partially full. It should be noted that D'Alton's ability to cope with the reading of Irish was limited and he perforce had to limit his investigations to the late medieval and modern periods. In these periods he seems to have worked assiduously, with special attention to local and ecclesiastical history and the history of Irish and Anglo-Irish families.
