Much of the information used in the compilation of the pages so far published has been found over a number of years during visits to many local libraries and record offices around Ireland and the UK. I have also benefited considerably by being able to use the important institutions listed below.

| Cambridge | University Library |
| Dublin | National Library of Ireland |
| Dublin | Trinity College Library |
| London | British Library: Newspaper Library |
| London | Historical Manuscripts Commission |
| London | Jewish Museum: London's Museum of Jewish Life |
| London | The National Archives: Public Record Office |

| London | Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine |
| Oxford | Balliol College Library |
| Oxford | Bodleian Library |
My thanks are due to their unfailingly helpful staffs, many of whom struggle to keep their collections available to us despite parsimonious funding and inadequate staffing levels.
Governments need to take urgent action to ensure the continued financial survival (and dare one say development) of these world renowned, and often long-established organisations, not all of which can be supported by charitable foundations.
Ordinary people use them, and need them.
