Articles, lecture notes, conference papers, journals, theses, ca 1830-1993
- Component identifier:
- Series 25
- Content Summary:
-
This series includes both published and unpublished material, and both copies and originals. There are newspapers, articles, theses, letters (mostly copies of 19th century letters), pamphlets and notes. There are also notes taken from articles.
Files are in alphabetical order within seven subheadings (Ireland, Northern Ireland, Irish Diaspora, Irish Australian, Catholic, Australia and Miscellaneous). O'Farrell's File titles do not necessarily start with a useful subject word (eg. author surname, title).
The date range of the material is from 1830-1993. However, the majority of the material is clustered in the periods 1830-1910 and 1960-1993. Most of the early material is photocopied.
Although he never taught a university course on Catholicism, O'Farrell gave occasional lectures on the subject. From 1967-1997 he taught a series of Irish history courses (1800 to the present) at Upper Level and Honours. During his visits to Northern Ireland from 1965-1996 he collected material for this course. He also lectured on the Irish in Australia.
