Two of these were published posthumously by his family. The series contains preparatory material for some of the titles, some items of correspondence drafts and faircopies, and reviews or other material adding to the published item. Notably, there are some pamphlets concerning James Connolly, not all used for drafting ""Tart na Córa"" (1963), Mac an Bheatha's biography of Connolly, but collected later."
