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.

Paper entitled “Memorandum on Northern Ireland”, possibly part of the Catholic Institute for International Relations submission. He notes the differences between the Provisional IRA and the Official IRA, as well as the operation of loyalist groups. It notes the Roman Catholic hierarchy’s opposition to these groups, and states that it is appropriate to ask those politicians who ask for an end to internment to provide an alternative. It also states that the policing and politics cannot be separate.
