Carte Manuscripts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Carte Manuscripts are archived historical papers collected by John Carte (1686-1754). They are held in the Bodleian Library, at the University of Oxford, England.

Among Carte's collection were many documents relating to the history of Ireland. John Carte gave a first tranche of Irish papers to the Bodleian in 1753.

Carte's papers were arranged for binding in 276 volumes in 1862, and in 1871 Charles William Russell and John Prendergast edited the eight-volume Report on the Carte Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library.
