Apparently it is (in July 2010) "going to be reproduced in very near future"....

On April 20 this year, I received the following from David Hume of the Grand Orange Lodge in reply to my inquiry about the Boyne account book: "Thank you for contacting us in relation to the Paymaster General’s book, now held in the Schomberg House archives. This book is in the process of being digitally photographed and will then be alphabetically categorised. This process will take some time and unfortunately we cannot assess this at present as there are currently no specifically dedicated staff for the archives. We are awaiting news of a grant application which would redress this significantly. I am therefore only in a position to hold requests for information on file and will contact you when we have further news."

According to other contacts I have in Ireland, Mr. Hume's description of the Order's staffing situation ("... there are currently no specifically dedicated staff for the archives") actually means that the Archives has no staff at all. What work they are able to accomplish is done entirely by volunteers.

Also, I don't know if you've ever tried reading handwriting from the 17th century, but "categorising" what they're looking at is undoubtedly a challenge under any circumstance.

I've been hoping for 30 years that something like the paymaster's book would turn up. I shall try to be patient a while longer.

I would be very interested in the Battle of the Boyne 1690 account book.  A Robert Stanley, a Cpt. in King William's Army fought at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 & Athlone Castle in 1691.

Should anything further develop concerning the account book, I would be very interested in being advised.   Thank you. :)

This is October, 2012 now. I would guess that there hasn't been any word on the release of the information or a book preferably. :(
