Archival history
The original manuscripts of the Hurley family letters are held in the Hurley Family Emigrant Letters, Cork City and County Archives (reference number U170) and are accessed through them. Copies of the Hurley letters were provided to Kerby A. Miller by Cork archivist Ann Barry in February 1975, from which Miller created transcripts for his doctoral dissertation. Publication of these letters is provided through the courtesy of Cork City and County Archives (per letter of 17 May 1991). Hurley family descendant John Fox provided Miller with extensive family information and an additional letter (P155/40/5/1/129) via letter of 1 January 1996.
