Eoin O'Mahony papers, 1912-1971.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/212059085

These papers include over one hundred letters to and from O'Mahony, the majority of which were written between 1965 and 1971 concerning O'Mahony's activities at and on behalf of Southern Illinois University, several manuscripts, and various printed materials about O'Mahony. In addition to university matters there is also correspondence about O'Mahony's failed attempt to gain a nomination for the presidency of Ireland in 1966, about his Radio Eireann show "Meet the Clans," as well as personal correspondence filling O'Mahony in on what was happening in Ireland while he was out of the country. The collection contains photocopies of material on faculty and students at Clongowes, Belvedere, and University College-Dublin, for O'Mahony's work on Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. There are two manuscripts among O'Mahony's selected papers, both in his own hand. One is a draft, signed by the author, of "A Memory of Brendan Behan." The other consists of twenty-three pages of autograph notes, often excerpts, from Wilfrid Scawen Blunt's My Diaries (published in New York by Alfred Knopf, 1921). The printed matter includes an issue of The Clongownian (1966), an article, several pamphlets, brochures, and a report.
