The section includes a small collection of records relating to the Association of Patrons of 'The Capuchin Annual' (APCA). The Association was founded in 1944 with the goal of raising money to support the continued production of the publication. Both Irish and international subscribers to the APCA were provided with copies of the 'Annual' and 'The Father Mathew Record' in return for their financial support. Lists of APCA subscribers were printed in various editions of the 'Annual'. By 1967 it was noted that the APCA had become the ‘mainstay of the "Annual’s" sales organization’.

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 complements content published in ‘The Capuchin Annual’ with several of the original photographs 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.

The sub-series includes the correspondence files of the editors of 'The Capuchin Annual'.

The material relates to Fr. Richard Henebry’s career as a prominent Irish language academic and to the activities of Conradh na Gaeilge (Gaelic League) and general Irish language activism especially in Henebry’s native Waterford. His correspondence includes letters from leading contemporary Irish language scholars, linguists and celticists such as Whitley Stokes, Pádraig Ó Siochfhradha (‘An Seabhac’), John Strachan, Heinrich Zimmer, Kuno Meyer, Eleanor Hull, and Tadhg Ó Donnchadha (‘Torna’). The collection also includes letters to Henebry from Roger Casement and Douglas Hyde. The collection also includes material relating to the posthumous publication of Henebry’s ‘A Handbook of Irish Music’, edited by Tadhg Ó Donnchadha, and published by University College Cork in 1928. Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. was interested in Henebry’s career and was involved in the posthumous promotion of his contribution to Irish language scholarship and traditional Irish music. The files include letters from several leading academic, cultural and political figures including Sir Bertram Windle, Carl Gilbert Hardebeck, Fr. Michael Sheehan, William Frederick Paul Stockley, Mac Giolla Bhríde (William Gibson, 2nd Baron Ashbourne), and Frank Ryan. Fr. Senan seemingly acquired most of this material for several articles on Henebry published in ‘The Father Mathew Record’. The material was later preserved among Moynihan’s personal collection of papers.
