Bereik en inhoud
The subseries comprises a large collection of bound volumes containing photographic material, newspaper and magazine clippings, original historical records, and ephemera compiled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., the editor of ‘The Capuchin Annual’. The content of the volumes is extremely varied and, in many instances, includes rare original records reflecting Moynihan’s interest in Irish history, and particularly the revolutionary period. Some of the material listed here complements content published in ‘The Capuchin Annual’ with several original photographs extant in the volumes reproduced in various editions of the periodical.
Other content (especially the clippings) is suggestive of Moynihan’s eclectic interest in Irish church history, Irish Capuchin history, antiquities, Irish literature and art, Gaelic culture, historiography, and the contemporary political and economic situation in Ireland especially during the Second World War.
