Institutional funding for the project has generously been provided by the Irish Embassy in Spain, the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (CER – Institut de Cultura) and the Universitat de Barcelona (Comissió de Recerca – Facultat de Filologia). We greatly appreciate their commitment to our research. We have accessed a number of archives and libraries in Europe and the United States: Archives Mu- nicipales Boulogne-Billancourt, Archives de Paris, Archivo General Militar de Madrid, Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona, Arxiu Diocesà de Barcelona, Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya, Arxiu Contemporani de Barcelona, Biblioteca de Catalunya, Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona, Biblioteca de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Biblioteca Nacional de España, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, British Library, Cambridge University Library, Library of Congress, National Library of Ireland, Registro de la Propiedad de Madrid, Registre de la Propietat de Barcelona, The Library Company of Philadelphia, The Open University. We are most grateful to staff in the archives and libraries for their professional- ism and efforts on our behalf. A number of individuals have also generously contributed time and expertise at significant stages in the project. We are deeply indebted to Faith Binckes and Kathryn Laing for sharing information and providing feedback. Michael Counahan, Lynch’s grand-nephew, promptly responded to our enquiries and was most generous in supplying family memorabilia and granting permission for the reproduc- tion of the photograph of Hannah Lynch which appears in this volume. Without the ready disposition of Bernard Catalá, our French connection, it would have been difficult to find our way through several Parisian archives. The Petites Soeurs des Pauvres in Paris charitably welcomed our inquiries regarding Lynch’s residence at 60/60bis Avenue de Breteuil. Pablo Salvador kindly facilitated contact with Joaquín Sagnier de Sentmenat, 9th Marquis of Sentmenat, and his spouse. For their skills in editorial matters and with computer technology, we are in debt to Aitor Canal, Ramon Maseda, Lluïsa Astruc, Marina Garcia, Marta Manso, Francesca Prevedello and Lluís Gifra. Alba Montaño Spiers’ diligence in carrying through an early search for Lynch material in the Spanish press was of great value. Material from this project was delivered at conferences organised by the Asociación Española de Estudios Irlandeses (AEDEI) in Granada in 2015 and the Centre for the International Study of Litera- tures in English (CISLE) in Ljubljana in 2018. We wish to express our gratitude to those colleagues present who commented on and encouraged us in our research on Hannah Lynch. The academic advice or readiness to listen provided by Isabel Alonso, Montserrat Cots, Kathleen Firth, Gemma López, Doireann MacDermott, Antonio Monegal, Ana Moya, Maria Morrás, Marta Ortega, Josep Pich and Martín Rodrigo has been greatly appreciated. Finally, thanks are due to Enric Bou for the interest expressed in our work, the enthusiasm and energy he has invested in the publishing process and, not least, for having accepted the project for a series devoted to Iberian Studies.
