The 'Feis Maitiú' was established in 1909 by Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap., who saw the need for a festival to encourage people interested in preserving Irish culture and language.

The collection consists of organizational records and promotional materials which document the activities of the Father Mathew Feis from its inception.
