This subseries consists of handwritten and typed research notes and relates mainly to the Conradh na Gaeilge newspaper, An Claidheamh Soluis, in particular for the years 1903-1909. It also includes partial drafts.
Founded in 1899, An Claidheamh Soluis was named after the "Sword of Light" from Gaelic mythology. Eoin MacNeill was its first editor, overseeing its publication from 1899 to 1901. From 1903 to 1909 the paper was edited by Patrick Pearse. Under his editorship the paper played a prominent role in the Irish Literary Revival, publishing original literary works in both Irish and English and devoting considerable space to commentary on cultural matters. From 1909 to 1916 the editor was Seán Mac Giollarnáth. The paper continued under the names Fáinne an Lae (1918-1919, 1922-1930) and Misneach (1919-1922), reverting briefly to An Claidheamh Soluis in 1930-1931. It was discontinued after 1932.
