Given the 1923 fire, it is surprising that anything has survived to this time. The collection consists of 23 items, and there is little continuity. The legal material consists of a scattering of deeds from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, mainly deeds of conveyance to the Kirwans, and marriage settlements, and could in no way be seen as a comprehensive record of the family.

The estate management material dates from the 1850s to the 1890s, and consists of the account of the land agent with Denis Kirwan, later his wife and then their daughter. There are also rentals which would have been used by the land agent to record rents received. This material gives a comprehensive picture of the monies they received out of their estate in the later nineteenth century.

The final section of this collection consists of a number of disparate maps and surveys of lands from county Galway over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some refer to Athenry and the estate of the Birmingham family there, as well as a 1781 map of the property of Francis French on the shore and islands of Lough Corrib. Again there is no sense of original order, and the material does not form a coherent series of records, so they have been listed chronologically.

This small collection of personal papers comprises documents effectively spanning 25 years in the life of Donegal and Dublin writer Seosamh Mac Grianna. All manuscript material, whether in the form of notebooks or loose leaves, contains a mixture of diary entries, ideas for writing, agendas, as well as drafts for literary pieces. The other material is not a result of any consistent collecting activity and merely offers glimpses of domestic circumstances and pursuits of Mac Grianna.

Diary entries [particularly G42/ 3-5, entries in G42/ 6 and 7, fragments G42/ 15 and 16]: both immediate and retrospective entries on life in Dublin, and on travels in Wales; agendas/ resolutions; books read. Notable preoccupation with physical exercise and the need to travel, with biblical imagery and chronology, and catechetics.

Drafts, sketches, ideas for literary work and for pseudo-historical pieces or commentary [particularly G42/ 2, 4, 11, 12, 13, 17-21]: ranging from naturalistic piece in urban setting, reflective pieces, verse, to pieces of a fantastical and often very disjointed nature with historical and mythological undertones.

Copies of or translations from historical texts [particularly G42/ 1, 6, 7, 8 ]: the Brehon laws, Caesar's "De Bello Gallico" with 'Hibernicising' modifications, [D'Arbois de Jubainville]; see also printed copy of Vergil's Aenid G42/ 43.

Copies of and translations from literary texts [particularly G42/ 1, 8, 9, 10, 14]: Anton Giulio Barrili's "L'undicesimo commandamento" (1881), Tommaso Grossi's "Marco Visconte" (1847), Spanish version of Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame" (1831). These copies more likely bear out Mac Grianna's interest in the Italian and Spanish languages than in the popular 19th-century writings contained.

Personal accounts [G42/ 22 and 23]: dealings with An Gúm, lodgings in Dublin, Fionn Mac Grianna's stay in hospital.

Correspondence [G42/ 24-33]: mostly documents sent to Mac Grianna - arbitrary survival of items with memorabilia character, often fragmentary, with no correspondent appearing more than once.

Press and printed material [G 34- 43]: notably including two press items reviewing works of Mac Grianna; the road map used when travelling Wales.

Transcripts of notebooks and diary [G42/ 45]: the [excerpts from the] diary of Proinsias Mac an Bheatha contain some points not eventually printed in his essay "Seosamh Mac Grianna".

The bulk of the papers covers a period of fifty years. All material contained in the collection illustrates Mac an Bheatha's two main private areas of interest: that in the development of the Irish language, and that in the labour and trade union movements. The papers contain large sections of press cuttings - non-archival sources described mostly at item level because a broad picture of his work and interests would not emerge were these dealt with too summarily.
