Photographic prints relating to the state visit to Ireland of King Baudouin (1930-1993) and Queen Fabiola (1925-2014) of Belgium in May 1968. The file was compiled for a photographic feature published in 'The Capuchin Annual' (1969). The file includes press prints showing their arrival at Dublin Airport, their attendance at a state banquet at Dublin Castle, laying a wreath at the military cemetery in Arbour Hill, and a visit to Áras an Uachtaráin where King Baudouin played hurling with President Éamon de Valera and the Taoiseach, Jack Lynch. Frank Aiken, Minister for External Affairs, is also present in some of the photographs

Hendrik Verwoerd (later Prime Minister of South Africa) with Bishop Timothy Phelim O’Shea OFM Cap. during his visit to the mission station at Katima Mulilo in the Caprivi Strip, South West Africa (Namibia).

Photographs showing the visit of Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd (1901-1966), Minister of Bantu Affairs in the South African government (he was later Prime Minister), to the Holy Family Mission at Katima Mulilo in the Caprivi Strip (situated in present-day Namibia but then under South African control). A typescript note is extant in the file. It reads: ‘The purpose of his visit to the Mission was to assess the possible implications of implanting the infamous Bantu Education Act into the Caprivi where, at the time, all the schools were administered by the Capuchins with the aid of a very meagre subsidy from the S.A. government. Dr. Verwoerd (the “architect of apartheid”, was assassinated during his reign as Prime Minister) enforced the Bantu Education Act, in the late 1950s, as a means of preventing black South Africans from receiving an education anywhere near the standard enjoyed by other ethnic groups, e.g. whites and coloureds’. One of the photographs shows Verwoerd (identified with an 'X') with various religious including Bishop Timothy Phelim O’Shea OFM Cap. and Fr. Bartholomew Prendiville OFM Cap., superior of the Katima Mulilo Mission. See also CA AMI/2/10/3/110.
