Two of the examination papers set by George Boole while in UCC have been digitised and re-typeset here. The link beside each document is the typeset PDF.
The first is the 1857 First Year Agricultural Scholarship exam paper on Arithmetic and Mensuration, designed to test candidates on basic mathematics and measurement, with a strong emphasis on the kinds of problem encountered in agriculture.
The second is more advanced, the Junior Class Honours Examination in Mathematics from Summer 1859.
Information about additional Boole resources will be added shortly.
