Ms 108 – Irish Electoral Ephemera 1922\u20131948<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Special Collections is pleased to announce that the MS 108 Irish Electoral Ephemera 1922\u20131948 Collection is now available for consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection comprises 14 rare items of electoral ephemera from four Irish political parties: Cumann na nGaedheal, Fianna F\u00e1il, Labour and Sinn F\u00e9in. The items present a range of political perspectives from the post-revolutionary era of Irish politics and offer a textual record of political discourse in the first decades of Irish independence, from the Free State to the beginnings of the Republic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection includes broadsides, handbills, and multi-page leaflets, which disseminated manifestos of key general elections (1922, 1927, 1932, 1948), by-election material, and municipal appeals. These materials give insight into welfare, housing, labour, and class issues in early twentieth-century Ireland, and the varying ideological responses to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 and the Free State.\u2002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection of rare items of electoral material provides a unique insight into Irish political history. The collection is of research value for researchers working across a range of disciplines, including Irish political history, print and material cultures, nationhood, public policy, labour history, and media studies.\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full listing<\/a> of the MS 101 Irish Electoral Ephemera 1922\u20131948 Collection can be found on the Special Collections webpages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection can be consulted by appointment at Special Collections. Please contact us<\/a> to arrange consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
