George Holmes (archivist)
George Holmes (1662–1749) was an English archivist, known as the editor of Thomas Rymer's ''Fœdera''.
==Life==
Born at Skipton in Craven, Yorkshire, Holmes became about 1695 clerk to Sir William Petyt, Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London. For nearly sixty years he acted as deputy to Petyt, and his successors Richard Topham and David Polhill. He was also barrack-master at the Tower, a Fellow of the Royal Society, an early member of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and a member of the Gentlemen's Society at Spalding.
Thomas Madox worked closely with Holmes on his edition of the ''Dialogus de Scaccario''; and Browne Willis, De Blossiers Tovey, William Richardson, and other antiquaries acknowledged his assistance. From October 1707 until his death he was employed, on the nomination of Lord Halifax, chairman of committees in the House of Commons, to arrange the records deposited in the Tower, at a salary of £200. He died 16 February 1749, and his collection of books, prints, and coins was sold that year.〔
