The FitzGerald Papers copied by PRONI include 1,793 documents – principally correspondence – deriving from Robert and Maurice FitzGerald, respectively 17th and 18th Knights of Kerry, and covering roughly the 100-year period between 1750 and 1850. They are bound in 18 late 19th century volumes, of which the first 17 are in family possession, and the last is in the National Library of Ireland. PRONI has made a detailed calendar of the contents of all 18 volumes, and holds microfilm copies of volumes 1 to 17 at MIC639 and photocopies of volume 18 at T3075.
