“Sharing a Researcher’s Point-of-View” is a brief presentation of the research involved in the production of Lumen Christi, a 240 page account of the stained glass windows of Mount Saint Joseph Abbey, Roscrea. Starting from scratch, research established who made the first 30, what they cost, who paid for them, when installed, their significant details. While aware of the background to our seven Clarke Studio windows, there were additions that searches in Trinity College Manuscripts and Archives Research Library made available. Hopefully sharing this experience of research may give digitisers an insight into the mind and needs of a researcher.
8. There is a great amount
of highly-skilled labour
in these Windows.
Awaiting your esteemed Command,
I remain your grateful and
Obedient Servant
Thomas Earley.
