The subseries contains many letters to Fr. Henry Rope mainly from Irish correspondents. These letters were later sent by Father Rope to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. for preservation in the Irish Capuchin Archives in Dublin. Father Rope's notable correspondents included George Noble Plunkett, William Frederick Paul Stockley (and his wife, Germaine Stockley), Mary MacSwiney, and Andrew Hilliard Atteridge. The letters refer to a range of literary matters and contributions written by Father Rope for religious periodicals (including several publications produced by Irish and British Jesuits). The letters include references to Catholic literature and spirituality, academia, and the writings of various authors. Many of the letters mention the contemporary political situation in Ireland, particularly during the revolutionary period, and include commentary on events in Britain and in Europe.

This subseries includes a very large collection of photographic albums and prints that capture Irish Capuchin missionary activity in Zambia from the commencement of work in what was then Northern Rhodesia in 1931. The photographs can be used to reconstruct missionaries’ actions, trace the evolution of their work and their interactions with local inhabitants, and assess their impact as agents of western contact with African society. The photographic archive also offers an insight into indigenous political, social, and economic history in the areas where the Capuchin missionaries were active.
