James J. Cleary papers, 1837-1988 bulk 1907-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/310352036

The James J. Cleary papers date from 1837, before Cleary's time, to 1988, years after his death. The bulk of the material, however, spans the late 1900s to the 1960s, and is made up of Cleary's poems and prose, socialist literature, correspondence, local sports programs, newspaper and magazine clippings, Irish newspapers, and scrapbooks. His scrapbooks, which are central to this collection, serve as rich chronicles of American (and to a limited extent, international) popular culture and current events from the 1910s through the 1930s.
