A mall pouch annotated on spine with ‘Letters to Father H.E.G. Rope / X’. The pouch contains letters to Father Rope from Fr.

The letters refer to literary matters and contributions by Father Rope to the periodical.

A bound volume containing colour postcard images of scenic locations around Ireland, mostly in County Kerry. Includes various scenes around Killarney. The volume also includes postcards of Croagh Patrick in Mayo and an image of the control tower at Shannon Airport in County Clare. All the postcards have manuscript notes on the reverse by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. The notes appear to be draft letters written by Fr. Senan to his secretary Mollie Baxter in circa 1953. There are duplicate postcards, and some are loose within the volume.

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.
