Commemorations of Father Mathew

The series contains correspondence, publications, posters, circulars, newspaper cuttings and ephemera relating to various commemorations of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC from the late nineteenth century onward. The series has been divided into seven sub-series relating to a particular anniversary (centenary or bicentenary) or commemoration of Fr. Mathew and his temperance crusade.

Later Temperance Associations

This series includes material relating to the promotion of total abstinence by organisations which emerged in response to the late nineteenth century temperance revival. The files comprise material from both local and national organisations such as the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association (PTAA) founded in 1893. The section also includes minute books, fliers, publications and ephemera created by Capuchin-founded local temperance societies such as the League of the Sacred Thirst (established by Fr. Albert Mitchell OSFC in 1880) and the League of the Young Irish Crusaders (initiated by Fr. Aloysius Travers OSFC in 1909). Much of the publicity and commemorative material generated by these abstinent societies focused on Fr. Mathew’s legacy as a temperance pioneer and leader.

Visual Material

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.

Published Works relating to Father Mathew and Temperance

The series contains a large collection of published works and biographical accounts dealing with the life of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC. The collection also includes works relating to various teetotal and temperance movements in Ireland from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Many of the publications listed below are connected with the temperance revival of the late nineteenth century exemplified by the foundation of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association by Fr. James Cullen SJ in 1898. The works are listed in chronological order by date of publication.

Transcripts of Letters and Documents relating to Father Mathew
