| Description | Aside from his extensive research and writing into the history of medicine in Ireland, Kirkpatrick also researched into and collection information on the biographies of Irish medical men. This work culminated in the Kirkpatrick Newspaper Archive, which contains newspaper cuttings and biographical notes on over 10,000 Irish medical men and women from the earliest times up to the 1950s. This archive has not as yet been added to the online catalogue but a printed index can be consulted in the reading room. This section contains research material for the newspaper archive including manuscript notes and list and extracts from newspapers. It also includes other indexes relating to Irish medical practitioners, including Irish students of medicine at Leiden, TCD and Dr Steevens' Hospital, an index of wills made by Irish medical men and entries in the Calendar of Ancient Records of Dublin relating to medics. |
