Of particular interest are the storyboards and screenplays for Maeve and Anne Devlin, as well as material on Sean MacBride Remembers and Birmingham Six: Parade of Innocence.

The Tiernan MacBride Collection

A valuable record of the development of the Irish Film Industry, this collection contains material relating to his work with the Irish Film Theatre, Film Producers Association, the ITGWU, and the Irish Film Board.

The Horgan Collection

This collection gives an intriguing glimpse into the day-to-day running of the Horgan Picture Theatre, Youghal, Co. Cork. The collection includes photographs, screenings diaries, exhibitor’s diaries, ticket sales records, and accounts.
