The Archive, Manuscript, etc., of Thomas F. Drohan, Waterford Archive: Thomas Drohan was a member of the Waterford Harbour Commissioners and a keen historian of Waterford city and port, during the first half of the 20th century. He collected primary source material, transcribed documents, wrote numerous articles for local newspapers, and generously supplied information to other writers. He was also a supporter of the independence movement, the Gaelic revival, and Gaelic sports. The archive comprises original documents, transcripts, drafts of historical articles, scrapbooks, photographs, copies of old newspapers, and ephemera. The last half-century has seen a vast increase in the amount of source material available to local historians and in the quantity of published works. Little had been published when Drohan was carrying out his research, and in many respects he was a pioneer in his field. On the other hand, he had ready access to port records, of which he made full use. The most significant original items in this archive include: · A volume of reports of the superintendent of the Quay and River Watch, 1850 to 1855, recounting incidents of people falling into the river, with an ominous tot of "lives lost" and "lives saved" · A ledger listing details duties paid by ships entering and leaving Waterford Port, 1809 to 1820 · Acts of parliament for the building of a bridge at Waterford (1786) and for building a canal at Carrick-on-Suir (1836) · A copy of The Times for 7 November 1805 with the official report of the Battle of Trafalgar · A file in Irish of local songs, tales and sayings collected by Bláthnaid Ní Céilachar, aged 16 · Some historic photographs, including shipping, Dáil na Mumhan, 1928, and Feis Portláirge, 1929 DETAILED LISTING Box of miscellaneous Papers Register containing MS index of ships built in Waterford. Maps engraved for Chambers's Edition of Gutrie's [sic] New System of Geography. Maps of Germany, Poland, Turkey with Hungary, and the Netherlands. (late 18c).
