Design, construction and operation of an Microsoft Access database to accommodate records of L.W. Brockliss’ and P. Ferte’s ‘Irish clerics in France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: a statistical study’ (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 7

This database project was conceptualised to facilitate the transfer of the existing set of records of Irish clerics who trained in France compiled as the result of scholarly research by L.W. B. Brockliss and P. Ferté and now lodged with, and published by, the Royal Irish Academy, to a digital format. Dr. Brockliss has kindly granted permission for his work to be employed in this project. The records representing the four archiepiscopal provinces of Armagh, Cashel, Dublin, and Tuam are at present spread over 115 pages of a prosopography entitled Irish clerics in France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: a statistical study’
