File 37 - Irish Revolution / Bound Newspaper Clipping Volume

124 pp; 32.5 cm x 19.5 cm; Bound volume; clipping

A bound volume containing newspapers clippings broadly covering significant events in the Irish Revolution. The volume contains clippings relating to Thomas Ashe, Tomás MacCurtain, the treaty debates, Jim Larkin and Irish trade unionism, executions during the Civil War, and the murder of Noel Lemass. Other (seemingly unrelated) clippings relate to the contested will of Richard Croker (1843-1922), an Irish American leader of New York City’s Tammany Hall organisation. The disputed will was the subject of a probate lawsuit in the Court of King’s Bench in Ireland. Many of the clippings are taken from the ‘Freeman’s Journal’ and the ‘Manchester Guardian Weekly’.

The end covers are warped and some of the clippings are fragmentary. Some of the pasted-in clippings are badly frayed and torn. Careful manual handling is required.
