The series includes mostly copies of contemporary letters and documents relating to Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC and his temperance campaign. Most of the transcriptions of original source material in this series are undated but it can be surmised that they were compiled in the early decades of the twentieth century. Note that the date element refers to the original date of creation of the document or the time-period to which the research pertains. The original material is for the most part described in separate files.

The first number of 'The Father Mathew Record' was published in January 1908. It was founded and edited by Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. (1870-1957). 1967 marked the last year of the publication under the title of 'The Father Mathew Record'. From 1968 until it ceased publication in 1973, the publication was known as 'Eirigh'. Very little content has survived for the publication for the years prior to the assumption of the editorship of 'Eirigh' by Fr. Donal O’Mahony OFM Cap. (1936-2010) in the late 1960s.
The series contains a collection of prints, drawings and photographs relating to Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC. Most of the prints were produced for commemorative and devotional purposes and to celebrate Fr. Mathew’s temperance campaign.
