"These are personal manuscript notebooks of typically varied contents. They comprise diary-style entries (partly retrospective) on life in Dublin, and travels in Wales; sketches of personal agendas and resolutions; drafts/sketches for literary work (much fantastic/disjointed); and copies and/or translations of classical, historical, literary texts, from Latin (Caesar), Italian (Anton Barrili), in Old Irish (e.g.""Cáin Phádraig"")."
Mac an Bheatha's origins fed a life-long interest in Ulster writers and Ulstermen in Irish history, so that much of his press, but also some of his book, publications deal with these topics. His personal acquaintance with Seosamh MacGrianna during the mid- 1950s led to his campaign to raise funds for him. This series contains material collected by Mac an Bheatha reflecting these points of contact, including much published material by Mac Grianna, his critics, and work by Mac an Bheatha about Mac Grianna and other Ulster writers.

"The papers are divided into two sections, the first and most comprehensive section relate to the life and work of Tadhg Seoighe, the second contains material relating to the Joyce farm in Renmore in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is only very disparate material, and there was no original order discernable. In relation to the first section of these papers, they are subdivided further into two sections, covering his personal affairs, and his literary work. Material relating to Tadhg Seoighe's personal affairs include some material from his time as a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary, his work as land agent for the Guinness family and later the Congested Districts Board on the Aran Islands until the late twenties, and his financial arrangements.
