Content Summary:

Michael Kelly (1850-1940), born and educated in Ireland, came to Australia in 1901 as co-adjutor Archbishop of Sydney. He succeeded Cardinal Moran as Archbishop in 1911 and held the office until his death. O'Farrell wrote the entry on Kelly in the Australian Dictionary of Biography (vol. 9).

The series contains a small number of original letters, cuttings and financial papers and a larger group of photocopies of letters received by Kelly, together with cuttings, leaflets, pamphlets and financial papers. The correspondents include Cardinal Patrick Moran and William Redmond.

Files 4-12 pertain to Kelly's time as Vice-Rector of the Irish College, Rome. O'Farrell organised the microfilming of this Australian material when he was in Rome in 1966. The microfilm is in St. Mary's Archives. These files contain O'Farrell's notes from the originals.

Files 12-29 contain copies of material from St. Mary's Cathedral Archives.
