UCC Receives Donation of Troubles Pamphlets

21 Jun 2012
Pamphlets and publications donated to Boole Libary
The Boole Library at UCC has been offered an important collection of political pamphlets and publications via Ionad na Gaeilge Labharta.

 

The collection consists of mostly limited issue republican material relating to the Troubles in the North, many of which are extremely rare.

The original owner of the collection was Ms Maisie McCarthy whose father was an activist during the war of independence. Ms McCarthy was a voracious reader of political material throughout her life.  She passed away in 1992 and her books and reading material were carefully kept in storage by her family who officially handed over the collection to UCC this week.
