As Mercy Sisters, the urgent practicalities of being with those who needed immediate medical attention often led us to pay little memory attention to the total picture, the many beginnings, the developments and achievements which happened in this service over the years, a service so dear to Christ Jesus and especially to our Foundress Catherine McAuley.

  • Hospital Records in the National Archives of Ireland’
    ‘Hospital records in the National Archives of Ireland’ Brian Donnelly, Archivist, National Archives Journal of the Irish Society for Archives, Winter 2008 The following article provides a general overview of the holdings of the National Archives of Ireland – hereafter NAI – in respect of hospital records and collections of medical interest. The NAI has acquired over the years, many collections of hospital records relating to both defunct and existing institutions. Many of these were accessioned through the Business Records Survey which operated under the auspices of the Irish Manuscripts Commission between 1970 and 1993 and was thereafter incorporated into the NAI. Main collections The most comprehensive collection of hospital records in the NAI is that of the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin (DUB 22). Described by one academic as the greatest collection of maternity hospital records in the world, the archives begin in 1745 when Dr Bartholomew Mosse opened his first lying-in hospital in George’s Lane off South Great Georges Street and predate the construction in 1757 of the present hospital building. There is a substantial survival of material from the 18th century, including administrative records, operational records, account books, deeds and leases and loose documentation. The records are only available to those who have received authorisation from the hospital itself. The records of the Coombe Hospital, Dublin (DUB 55) include minute books (1864–1938), auditor’s reports and accounts from 1896, as well as some loose correspondence, while some old patient records are retained by the hospital itself. The NAI holds a small quantity of records relating to the Mater Misercordiae Hospital, Dublin (DUB 54) which includes a complete series of operations registers (1887–1949) and a medical register for the period 1897– 1902.
