File includes extensive press cuttings of news coverage regarding the Hunt Museum, Limerick, and accusations made by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, that many items in the Hunt collection were looted by the Nazi regime during World War II. The claims prompted an investigation led by former Supreme Court Judge, Mr. Justice Donal Barrington. Includes letters to the press by Etienne Rynne defending the Hunt family and collection against the claims; also letters to Rynne from Grainne Weir, Chair, Hunt Museums Trust (March 2004); Mairead Dunleavy, and others in response to Rynne's letter to the press. File also includes photocopy of manuscript diary entry by unnamed individual, during summer months of 1946.

File 2 relates to cataloguing work carried out at the Hunt Museum by Etienne Rynne and the UCG Archaeological Research Group. Includes photographic prints of objects catalogued, including axe and spear heads, among other objects; a booklet published on the Hunt Museum collection and written by Patrick F. Doran.
