Introductory note
This collection of papers of Thomas Fitzpatrick, novelist, historian
and school teacher, is overwhelmingly concerned with Fitzpatrick’s
preoccupation with seventeenth century Ireland, and in particular
with the rebellion of 1641.
It consists mainly of substantial unpublished work on Henry Jones,
Sir Phelim O’Neill, and Island Magee; unpublished articles on a
slightly wider variety of subjects; much transcript material mainly
derived from seventeenth century sources; and a few copies of
published articles. With the exception of some material in the
lengthy series of notebooks [LA12/40–74], there is nothing derived
from Fitzpatrick’s fiction. The collection contains no personal
material or correspondence.
The provenance of the material is somewhat uncertain but it
appears that the papers were given to Robert Dudley Edwards,
Professor of Modern Irish History in University College Dublin, by a
niece or nephew of Fitzpatrick’s in 1953.
The papers were placed initially in the university library. After the
establishment of UCD Archives, of which Professor Edwards was
first director, the collection was transferred there. This transfer was
completed by 1976.

Thomas Fitzpatrick Papers
Appendix to the draft Jones biography headed: Depositions and other
documents (From the T.C.D. Collection of Examinations relating to 1641).
This consists of a lengthy series of handwritten transcripts by
Fitzpatrick from the Trinity manuscripts. Transcripts are numbered
sequentially by Fitzpatrick.
Included is a handwritten list by Fitzpatrick of the transcripts
[LA12/3].
Transcripts I–XXXI [LA12/4] are from the depositions, with the
exception of the first which is an account by Jones of the origin and
progress of the insurrection as well as extracts from his sworn
deposition.
Each transcript includes the name of the deponent, the county, and
folio [f.] reference. Some transcripts contain editorial comment and
textual analysis by Fitzpatrick. This takes the form of both marginalia
and footnotes.
Transcripts XXXII–LXIII [LA12/5] are of letters, dispatches, diaries,
reports and petitions, also from the T.C.D. manuscripts.
A final series of transcripts [LA12/6] of documents connected to Jones,
not paginated, are from T.C.D MS. F. 3. 18.

B. Notebooks
Series of 35 notebooks consisting mainly of transcript material, with
analysis and commentary by Fitzpatrick, overwhelmingly concerning
the 1641 Rebellion. Sources include T.C.D. depositions and other
manuscripts; State Papers Ireland, and published work.
The first 34 notebooks have been maintained in a pre-existing series.
The final notebook is not part of that series but is, on the basis of its
content, entirely consistent with the other notebooks. One sequence,
LA12/51-60, is largely taken up with transcripts from T.C.D.
Depositions. Another, LA12/61-67, consists almost entirely of extracts
from historical and legal texts.
The description of each notebook should not be taken as in any way a
comprehensive indication of its contents. It is intended to be no more
than a general guide. Almost all notebooks contain extensive and
relatively disjointed notes on a variety of subjects from a multiplicity of
published and archival sources and these are not indicated in the
description.
