Kerby A. Miller created his transcripts of the McCann-Clark letters from the original manuscripts held in PRONI [reference number T1456].

The McCann-Clark letters are a set of seven letters written by siblings Lizzie (later Lizzie Clark), Maggie, and Thomas McCann between 1883 and 1888. The letters are all written to their sister Mary McKeown in Belfast; Lizzie writing from Minneapolis, Maggie from Madison, Wisconsin, and Thomas from New York City. In addition to transcripts of the letters, the series contains biographical notes on the family, Kerby A. Miller's correspondence with historical institutions attempting to gathering information on the McCanns, and photocopied pages of published histories of Minneapolis used for research context.
