This section contains the minute books and associated material for the meetings of the Board of Directors, who controlled the administration of an Taibhdhearc down through the years. In the early years the committee was also concerned with artistic matters, although financial considerations were always present, and in later years the survival and administration of the company were to the forefront of their deliberations. The first volume and associated enclosures was part of a separate collection donated to the James Hardiman Library by the Ó Briain family, but because it is tied into the beginnings of Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe it is incorporated into this section.
