HISTORY OF RIC

A chara, - I am researching the social history of the Royal Irish Constabulary during the period c. 1822-1867, with particular reference to Munster. I am therefore keen to locate any relevant primary source material which may be in private ownership.

Of particular interest would be diaries, letters, memoirs, etc., belonging to constables, their families, inspectors and magistrates. Access to any such source could prove invaluable to my study and would be greatly appreciated. - Is mise,
