Documento 11 - Subscription Book for the New College Building Debt Fund

4 pp; 32.5 cm x 20.5 cm; Bound volume; manuscript and printed

List of subscribers to a fund ‘for the clearing off of the debt on the new college commenced 1st September by definitorial arrangement’. The information is given under date, name of individual or company, and the amount subscribed to the fund. They are two inserts in the volume: A letter from John O’Reilly, draper, 11-12 North Earl Street, Dublin, to Fr. Fidelis Neary OFM Cap. re the subscription (23 Oct. 1906); List of Councillors and Poor Law Guardians of the Cork Union elected in 1900. The volume is endorsed and stamped to the effect that it was checked during the Provincial Visitation on 13 June 1907.

The volume is in poor, severely degraded condition. The original binding has completely disintegrated, resulting in torn, loose leaves, with most of the pages now detached and removed from the text block. The outer covers exhibit significant staining. Careful manual handling is required.
