A range of material accessioned into the John McGahern Collection, divided into literary and personal papers. The literary material relates mainly to "The Power of Darkness" and "Amongst Women", consisting of a small number of drafts and a number of press reviews. The personal material includes school reports, some material from his time in England, as well as a large amount of material commemorating John's life.
Madeline McGahern deposited a number of items with the James Hardiman Library in June 2007. It was possible to integrate many of these with items already listed. In some instances this was not possible; these items are listed separately in this series.
