Index to Transcribed Atholl Papers
The Atholl Papers are a very large archive of over 7,500 manuscripts &
books donated to the Manx Museum (Manx National Heritage) in 1956 that cover
the period from 1735 through to 1765 when the Dukes
of Atholl were Lords of Man and onto 1828 when the British Government bought
out their remaining rights. The following is a small selection from the archive
(now microfilmed) which is organised into bundles and then papers within the
bundle, hence the reference number (note papers within a bundle are not necessarily
in sequence). There is an excellent typed handlist
and description produced by Neil Mathieson in the Manx Museum
Note that the name Atholl is rendered as Athol in many papers - the following
transcriptions keep the original spellings and general lack of punctuation,
though 18th century capitalization of words is not generally followed.

Note the Manx Museum in 2024/5 re-organised these papers, collectecting related
papers together, and allocated new finding numbers - however as the original
numbers are pencilled on all papers and as I have used the indices prepared
by Niel Mathieson many years ago I have continued to use the old numbers.
