Irish P.E.N. papers,

1935-2004.

The Irish P.E.N. is made up of a branch in Dublin and a branch in Belfast and forms a part of the International P.E.N. organization, a group who represent writers, literature and free speech around the world. Initially established in the United Kingdom in 1921, the Irish branch was opened in the same year. This collection contains the correspondence, reports, accounts, membership lists and miscellanea of Irish P.E.N. and some documents from the Congresses, International Executive Committee meetings and various sub-bodies of the International P.E.N. centres. It also contains miscellaneous items from other literary/human rights organizations, poetry and prose, newspaper cuttings and magazines.
