    A great collection of historical documents, I am sure.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.

    The 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!

    Interesting. 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.

    These are fabulous posters - and if this is the advertising, I can only imagine the size of the whole exhibition!
