'An Claidheamh Soluis' (‘the sword of light’) was an Irish nationalist newspaper published by Conradh na Gaeilge (the Gaelic League). It was published as a weekly bi-lingual newspaper for the advancement of the Irish language. Eoin MacNeill was its first editor. He oversaw its publication from 1899 to 1901. In 1900 the League took control of the weekly bilingual paper 'Fáinne an Lae' (See CA/IR/1/8/1/1). This title was merged with 'An Claidheamh Soluis' and the newspapers appeared as 'An Claidheamh Soluis agus Fáinne an Lae'. The paper was later published under the names of 'Fáinne an Lae' (1918–9; 1922–30) and 'Misneach' (1919–22).
The file contains the following issues of the newspaper under its various titles:
