Scope and content
An analytical, cumulative author, title and subject index to 'The Capuchin Annual' (1930-4) compiled by Fr. Nelson J. Ruppert OFM Cap. (1939-2000). The index was submitted to the Faculty of Library Science at the Catholic University of America in partial fulfilment for a Masters’ Degree. The introduction includes a short note on the history of the 'Annual' publication. The file includes Fr. Ruppert’s correspondence with Fr. Henry Anglin OFM Cap. re his index. Fr. Anglin also provides important contextual information in relation to the foundation of the Annual:
‘Father Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., who founded the "Annual", had a deep literary interest. After ordination in 1928 he was appointed editor of our monthly magazine, "The Father Mathew Record", which was only a small, popular publication, promoting our missions and the cause of total abstinence. … Senan wanted a higher grade, more literary type of book – he knew many writers and got permission to found the "Annual". … In 1955 Senan was removed from the editorship at a chapter and was changed to Cork. The ultimate result of this was that he asked for secularization and is now a priest in the diocese of Perth, Australia, chaplain to a convent’. (11 Mar. 1968).
