Thomas O'Farrell was born in 1843. He served as a surgeon in the Army, chiefly in India (taking part in the Afghan War of 1878-1880), and was promoted Surgeon-General, Royal Army Medical Corps, in 1899. He died in 1917.

Presented by Dr. P.T. O'Farrell, 1968 (accession number 310910)

The collection chiefly comprises scrapbooks compiled by O'Farrell on military and medical subjects. Specific topics that can be extracted include: cases at Jhansi and Hazaribagh military hospitals (MS.3704); medical officers and regiments serving in India (MS.3705); the Volunteer Medical Association (MS.6795); the Sudan campaign, 1898 (MS.6796-6797); and Malta (MS.6799). In addition there are two printed items relating to O'Farrell (MS.6800).

Each block of manuscripts is held in very rough chronological order of composition. MSS.3704-3708 include material from the early part of O'Farrell's career, in the 1870s, and from the early 20th century; MSS.6795-6800 are focussed more upon the 1890s. Printed material about O'Farrell is grouped in the last manuscript, MS.6800.

The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.
