Alcance y contenido
The subseries comprises a large collection of bound volumes containing photographic material, newspaper and magazine clippings, 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 includes rare original records assembled by Father Senan reflecting his interest in Irish history, and particularly the revolutionary period.
These volumes contain a mix of newspaper clippings, photographic prints, manuscripts, and typescripts, covering topics such as politics, prominent figures like Éamon de Valera, religious and cultural life, Irish art and architecture, and the impact of partition on Northern Ireland.
Some of the material complements content published in ‘The Capuchin Annual’ with several of the original photographs found in these volumes reproduced in various editions of the periodical. Other content (especially the clippings) is suggestive of Moynihan’s eclectic interest in Irish church history, Franciscan history, antiquities, literature, Gaelic culture, historiography, and the contemporary political and economic situation in Ireland especially during the Second World War.
