Letter by Leslie Edmonds, Galway, to Talbot Clifton, warning that there might be a small arms landing in either Letterfrack or Leenane, County Galway from a submarine (3 March 1918). Also a later copy and a letter from Gerald Bartley to [Liam O Buachalla] with background notes on the writer of the letter.
Hardbound notebook containing handwritten notes on every member of the Irish Parliament. It is thought that the note-book was written by Sir John Blaquiere, MP for County Louth, for officials in Dublin Castle. Information includes political affiliations and views of each MP, as well as their chances of re-election.
This collection consists of material relating to the deaths of Patrick and Harry Loughnane in November 1920, two brothers who were taken from their farm at Shanaglish, Gort on 26th November by Auxiliaries. Their mutilated and burned bodies were found by a lake near the auxiliary base at Drimharsna Castle, Ardrahan, ten days later. The material consists primarily of copies of an article by Patrick Fahy, as well as news cuttings and photographs relating to the deaths.
Letter of John Redmond, Aughavannagh, Aughrim, County Wicklow to Fr. Robert O'Loughran, thanking him for his expression of sympathy and news of attitudes in America, which he has also heard from other sources.
Bound volume containing the minutes of the weekly meetings of the Jarrow Branch of the Irish National Land League. The minutes are a record of resolutions carried and amounts gathered at the end of each meeting for the Defence Fund.
As it is a small collection the material has been arranged chronologically, but there is no definable series that would allow arrangement.
Scrapbook following the political career of Governor William Sulzer, including pamphlets defending him, correspondence, letters to the press and press cuttings. Also correspondence relating to his stocks in mining companies in British Columbia and Alaska.
Copy of a special edition of the 'Connacht Tribune', reporting on 'wild rumours' of a rising in Ireland, and giving reports of incidents between volunteers and police in Oranmore and Carnmore.
The material can be clearly divided into two parts. The first consists of correspondence with David Harkness in 1963 to 1964, when Mr. Harkness was pursuing a doctoral thesis in TCD on the role of the Irish Free State in the Commonwealth from 1922 to 1932, and their correspondence relates to this. The second part of the collection consists of articles and documents relating to the constitutional position of Ireland, mainly in the 1920s. These have been arranged by date of publication.
Printed batch of unused ballot papers for the parliamentary division of South Galway, held in December 1918.
