Portée et contenu
The subseries comprises a large collection of bound pamphlets, leaflets, and booklets assembled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., the editor of ‘The Capuchin Annual’. Most of the material is directly related to and largely produced during the Irish revolutionary period in the early twentieth century. The broad subjects include the Home Rule crisis (1912-14), World War I (1914-18), the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence (1919-21), and the Civil War (1922-23).
Included are some official government publications and items from private organizations such as patriotic and volunteer societies, religious associations, and various republican affiliates and organisations. Other content in the pamphlet collection is indicative of Moynihan’s eclectic interest in Irish church history, Franciscan history, antiquities, Irish literature and art, Gaelic culture, historiography, and the contemporary political and economic situation in Ireland. It appears that Moynihan bound the original pamphlets together to form a reference library for the Capuchin Publications Office.
