Materials in this catalogue are organised hierarchically and assigned to sub-fonds such as Personal, Academic, or Business papers. These groupings are intended as broad contextual guides rather than strict definitions, and they determine the reference number that is assigned to that particular archive collection (for example A for Academic, P for Personal).

Because many creators’ lives and work do not fit neatly into a single category, some collections include material that might also sit comfortably elsewhere. In some cases, collections that contain academic or literary material have been placed within Personal papers, reflecting how the records were originally grouped or described.

More detailed information is provided at collection and item level.

This archive contains 117 volumes (bound and unbound) of Irish manuscripts once belonging to Douglas Hyde, and was deposited with the Library by means of a bequest from Dr. Hyde on his death in 1949. They mainly comprise poetry and prose in Irish gathered for or by Dr. Hyde relating to his work in folklore and other areas. 70 of these were previously listed in print in Richard J.Hayes Manuscript sources for the history of Irish civilisation.

In 1926/ 1927 the first 68 manuscripts were listed more comprehensively by Áine de Búrca in a series of 15 notebooks: the last two of these contain an Index of first lines, an Index of prose (by category), and an Index of authors. These notebooks hold detailed descriptions of each volume, their physical appearance,
size, and the individual texts contained. This list is a brief version of the notebooks, adding the remainder of manuscripts (nos. 69 to 117) from an unidentified list mostly in Irish.
