Inventories of the Capuchin Local Archives at Rochestown

2 pp; manuscript

Lists serving as contemporary inventory registers for the Local Archives at Rochestown, County Cork, compiled between May 1910 and approximately 1915. The documents provide a catalogue of the monastery’s historical registry, tracking papal briefs, legal deeds, financial accounts, correspondence, and student records from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. One of the lists records items such as 2 Briefs of Pope Leo XIII, 18 Definitorial Enactments, 22 Minister Generals’ Letters, and 16 Verbal Processes of Canonical Visitations, alongside detailed correspondence files from Capuchin superiors, Dr. O’Callaghan (Bishop of Cork), and solicitors J.C. & A. Blake. The inventory dated May 1910 expands the inventory into an thematic overview, detailing local entries such as an ‘Acetylene Gas Plant—Estimate’, the ‘Glasgow Estate’ plot papers, ‘Miss Cleary’s Will – Law Report’, a ‘Gun Licence’. and monastic registers including the ‘Ordo Novitiatus et Studiorum’ and records relating to the establishment of the Third Order of St. Francis.
