Milford House archived contains thousands of papers and photographs relating to the Mc Crum family, the Manor House School and Milford village. Mrs. Harriette Miller and her son William kept all the family papers ranging from letters, legal and financial papers, bills and receipts. These have been documented by William's son the Rev. John Miller, a mammoth undertaking to say the least. In 2007 the Rev. Miller and his wife Joan very generously donated the chest containing papers which date back to the eighteenth century. In addition they also gave all one and ninety eight letters written between R.G Mc Crum and his wife which were also documented and printed copy available.
The Mc Crum Family Archive is in itself an outstanding resource providing a unique insight into Victorian and Edwardian life and society in County Armagh. Altogether, this material allows the daily life of the family to be pieced together as well as giving detailed insights into the family's professional life.
The Manor House School papers where given to the Public Record Office by Mrs. G.T Wilson in 1967. Milford House Museum holds an archive some of the original school papers including letters written by girls at the school to their parents, copies of all the letters written by Mrs. Jean Killen during her eighteen years as Headmistress. The archive contains an exceptional collection of over five thousand photographs of the Manor House School which were taken by girls and staff at the school.
The archive also contains papers relating to the more recent history of Milford House including architectural photographs.
