| Description | Contents Manuscript and printed items, with a handful of photographs, covering a broad range of subjects relating to the history of Ushaw College, including teaching, administration, college jubilees/special events, and other aspects of college life. The collection is particularly strong on the events leading up to, and the negotiations behind, the establishment of the college in 1808. A number of documents cover the college's long and protracted disputes with the bishops and the attempts by the latter to secure greater control over the running of the college during the mid-nineteenth century. Other items highlight the strong bond between the Holy See and the college, particularly the establishment of confraternities and the conferring of privileges. |
