Angela Baker is a fourth-year Psychology student at the University of Pittsburgh with a focus on the intersections of psychology and law. She was an intern at the National Institute for Newman Studies (NINS) during the summer of 2024, and now serves as the Digital Humanities and Editorial Specialist at NINS.
William Bernard Ullathorne (1806–1889) was a wise and humble man known for his devotion to the priests and nuns under his charge. Although he had a strong preference for monastic life, Ullathorne willingly served the church whenever he was called.
There are currently 252 digital items in the NINS Digital Collections that are labelled as the Ullathorne to Newman letters. These letters offer insight into the relationship between Newman and Ullathorne, church politics, and their personal affairs. They also serve as an accessible introduction to paleography and writings of the 1800s. If you are interested in paleography, I recommend you study these letters or consult similar works in the NINS Digital Collections.
