CONTB.Iporary DOCUMENTS. This Register Has Been Compiled for The CONTB.iPORARY DOCUMENTS. This register has been compiled for the ose of recording Contemporary Documents received in the Bureau. Properly speaking, the description "Contemporary Documents" should be limited to those created or already in existence during the period mentioned in the terms of reference of the Bureau, that is to say, prior to the end of 1921. It was suggested by members of the Advisory Committee, however, that this category should be extended to include any document which was in existence prior to the establishment of the Bureau on the 1st January 1947, and that is the meaning which, in practice, is to be read into the term "Contemporary Documents" wherever it occurs, or in relation to the records of the Bureau. While many documents were presented singly, there were collections of various sizes; but whatever the nature, size or documentary content of any individual contribution, it was treated as a single item for the purpose of immediate registration, and recorded in this register, with a serial number preceded by the letters CD. (i.e. Contemporary Documents In addition to the registration and numbering of each Collection as a single contribution, the individual documents in those collections which comprise more than two, and in some cases three documents, are listed and numbered seriatim in an appendix to this Register, in appropriate groups or classifications determined by subject, period or other inherent relationship, each such collection being the subject of a separate appendix related to it by the registered number. In the result, some of the large collections, each registered in this Register as a single item, are represented in the appendices by numbered entries runnir cases, i .1 rta,195 s U List ox" other Repositories where Material dealing with the Movement for Independence, 1913-1921, and the period following the end of 1921, is deposited s- Mational Library of Ireland, Kildare St. Dublin.

As no order, other than a rough chronological one, was apparent within the binders the material was separated and placed in new classifications. This has ensured that, as far as is possible, incomplete letters separated within the binders have now been joined together. For this reason it was impossible to believe that the order was original or the work of George Gavan Duffy himself.

I reported several meetings throughout the country. I was always chosen to attend meetings which were likely to be addressed by Irish speakers. Previously, that is from 1908 Onwards, I attended meetings that were addressed by Séamus ó Muilleagha, who was from East Galway and used to travel from County to County as Organiser of the Gaelic League. I was a shorthand reporter and gave verbatim reports of all speakers. Sèamus, in addition to advocating the cause of the language, advised the people that it was a scandal to have large ranches in the possession of one man while there were numbers of poor men without land. He advocated the driving of the cattle off the land. Some time after the meetings large cattle drives took place in the vicinity, the cattle being hunted in all directions. When he went to County Mayo I was sent there and followed him everywhere he announced a meeting.

    Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann National Library of Ireland Collection List 19 Augustine Henry and Evelyn Gleeson Papers (MS 13,698) (Accession 2501) Partial calendar with brief description of letters sent by Augustine Henry and Evelyn Gleeson between 1879 and 1928. Letters are arranged according to year and date. 1 Introduction Henry, Augustine (1857–1930), botanical collector and dendrologist, was born on 2 July 1857 in Dundee, the first of six children of Bernard Henry (c.1825–1891) and Mary MacNamee. His father, at one time a gold-prospector in California and Australia, was a native of the townland of Tyanee on the west bank of the River Bann in co. Londonderry. Soon after Austin (as Augustine was called within his family) was born, the family moved to Cookstown, co. Tyrone, where his father was in business as a flax dealer and owned a grocery shop. Henry was educated at Cookstown Academy and in Queen's College, Galway. He studied natural sciences and philosophy, graduating with a first-class bachelor of arts degree and a gold medal in 1877. Henry then studied medicine at Queen's College, Belfast, where he obtained his master of arts degree in 1878. For a year he was in the London Hospital, and during a visit to Belfast in 1879, at the suggestion of one of his professors, he applied for a medical post in the Chinese imperial maritime customs service. Henry completed his medical studies as rapidly as he could, became a licentiate from the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh, passed the Chinese customs service examinations (for which he required a working knowledge of Chinese) and and left for China in the summer of 1881.

It began with the onset of the most brutal phase of the War of Independence and culminated in the effective miltary defeat of the Republican IRA in the Civil War. Occurring alongside these dramatic changes in the south and west of Ireland was a far more fundamental conflict in the north-east; a period of brutal sectarian violence which marked the early years of partition and the establishment of Northern Ireland. Almost uniquely the IRA in the six counties were involved in every one of these conflcts and yet it can be argued was on the fringes of all of them. The period i 920-22 saw the evolution of the organisation from a peripheral curiosity during the War of independence to an idealistic symbol for those wishing to resolve the fundamental divisions within the Sinn Fein movement which developed in the first six months of i 922.
