Archives of the Dublin city hospitals (360G-Wellcome-103451_Z_14_Z)

£63,465

The key goals of the project are to preserve and make available for research the archives of 10 Dublin hospitals and a public nursing organisation. The bodies played a critical role in the development of institutional medical care in Dublin City and beyond from the early 18th century. The project involves the archival processing and cataloguing the archives of the hospitals and organisation described at 10 (a) below, with preservation and conservation work carried out. The main objectives of the project are to safeguard the long term preservation of these documents by ensuring intellectual and physical control and to make them available to researchers. The National Archives seeks funding for the retention of the services of a qualified archivist and the part-time services of a preservation assistant, with a conservator working on specific tasks over a period of 12 months. The project would be given general oversight and direction by a project committee in the National Archives. These collections are in the custody of the National Archives but are currently not available to researchers or for staff to answer queries because we are not in a position to carry out the preservation, archival and conservation work required and are prohibited by government embargo from engaging the additional staff needed for the work. The National Archives will provide all of the other supports necessary for this work including archival and conservation advice, working space, equipment, supplies of archival quality packing materials, overheads and administration.
