The library holds an extensive collection of just over 1000 pamphlets about Ireland, both North and South and a basic records of 
them are now available in the library catalogue. Each record contains details of the author, title, publisher and number of pages. We will be adding further details, such as subject and person keywords at a later date, so keep an eye on this blog for more updates.
The collection is made up of pamphlets collected by Ruth and Eddie Frow and also the pamphlet collection of the late C Desmond Greaves whose library was donated to us by his executor, Anthony Coughlan. It also contains pamphlets about Ireland that have been donated to the library over the years. They cover a wide variety of subjects, including the Easter Rising and the troubles in Northern Ireland.
The pamphlets compliments the selection of books we have in our Irish collection, which is made up of the books of Tommy Jackson as well as those of C Desmond Greaves and Ruth and Eddie. To help library users identify items in the book collection using the online catalogue they have now all been given the geographic keyword Ireland.
To find any of the books or pamphlets search our online catalogue at www.wcml.org.uk/catalogue/adlib-catalogue/
Happy hunting!
