Scope and content
Book of newspaper cuttings relating to the Father Mathew Feis. The first page of the volume contains cuttings reporting on the funeral of Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. (d. 2 May 1957) and the tributes paid to him at the Feis. The remainder of the newspaper clippings cover performances, recitals, and prize winners at the Feis Maitiu. Other cuttings refer to prize winners at Feis Ceoils in Sligo and in Dublin (1957-8). The volume appears to have been originally used a register of members of the Hall (circa Dec. 1920), and as a ledger of books purchased for the Father Mathew Temperance Hall Library (pp 63-9 contains a manuscript ‘list of books received on Feb. 26th 1921’).
