OTHER
As a holder of a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Library of Ireland c.2009, I processed and catalogued one of the largest collections in existence that relates to the Irish revolution: the papers of Art O’Brien (Michael Collins’ boss). A copy of the catalogue can be downloaded from the National Library of Ireland’s website here: Art O Briain papers.
