A great collection of historical documents, I am sure. It’s good that they were preserved and they now become the patrimony of the wider community.

ReplyDeleteThe only name I'm familiar with is Sir Roger Casement.... but we weren't taught much Irish history when I was growing up in England. I'd like to learn more. A long and terrible history!
ReplyDeleteIt is a treasure by the look of it!

That is great that this collection was given where the public can view and learn. It is so important not to forget history.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I also collected a lot of murals in (London-)Derry and Belfast. I recognise the Proclamation of the Provisional Government of the Irish Pepublic to the People of Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the worst of the troubles are over but it's important to not forget this history.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Well documented.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gesture of his widow. This way it all will be kept and many people can see it.
