This subseries comprises insurance records relating to the Capuchin Friary and associated estate at Rochestown, County Cork. The records consist principally of fire insurance and employer liability policies issued by ecclesiastical and commercial insurance providers. They document the valuation, protection, and risk management of the friary, monastery, college buildings, farm holdings, and associated movable property.
The files provide detailed inventories of insured assets, including monastic and collegiate buildings, church property, libraries, scientific apparatus, sacred vessels, household contents, farm buildings, agricultural produce, livestock, machinery, and recreational facilities. Several policies contain descriptive information on the physical layout, construction, and infrastructure of the Rochestown estate, including references to building materials, lighting systems, outbuildings, and a premises map plan.
The records also document insurance premiums, policy conditions, liability provisions under contemporary employment legislation, and the evolving valuation of institutional property during the mid-twentieth century. The subseries also includes related correspondence and insurance renewal notices and receipts.
