Credits and acknowledgements

The Estate thanks the family members, librarians, archivists, researchers, academics, photographers, event organisers and enthusiasts whose work helps readers discover Bram. A source credit tells you where material came from. It does not by itself give permission to reproduce it.

Research and discoveries

We acknowledge Brian Cleary’s discovery of Gibbet Hill in the National Library of Ireland. We also acknowledge the work of the family, Dacre and Dr Elizabeth Miller in bringing The Lost Journal to readers. Collections at the University of Leeds, Trinity College Dublin, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the Rosenbach preserve material that is essential to Bram Stoker research. See Archives for links to each collection.

Estate archives

Documents and photographs supplied by the family are credited “Courtesy of the Bram Stoker Estate”. Where known, the source, date and reference appear with each item. Material held elsewhere keeps the credit of the institution or publication that holds it.

Image credits and permissions

This page does not list individual images. Each picture’s credit sits beside it, on the page where it appears. Event images are supplied by organisers or taken from their published material, and they keep their own credits.

Some credits are marked “under review” or “to confirm”. This means we are still checking the source or the rights holder. A credit marked this way does not give permission to reuse the image. If you can supply a missing credit or a correction, please contact the Estate.

Research contributions

The Estate is grateful for research help and contributions from Paul Murray, Dr Elizabeth Miller, Douglas Appleyard, John Moore and Brian J. Showers. Their work helped piece together genealogical and historical information about Bram and the Stoker family.

Digital preparation of images

Some images have been prepared or enhanced through photographic craftsmanship and/or digital technology. This may include cropping, straightening, cleaning and tonal adjustments. Enhanced versions may differ in fine detail from their sources. Where the Estate prepares an enhanced version, the unedited source image is retained separately as the historical reference.

Walking guide images and maps

Photographs and illustrations in our Dublin, London, Whitby and Cruden Bay walking guides are credited beside each image. Pictures supplied by the Estate are credited “Courtesy of the Bram Stoker Estate”. Other sources currently used are acknowledged below.

Some images have been resized or cropped for display. Photographer credits, source links and any applicable Creative Commons licences are retained with the relevant images.
