Scope and content
This collection was acquired for the Library in 1990 by Mr Christy Townley, former Librarian of the James Hardiman Library, who had served for many years on the Board of Directors of the theatre. As well as material from the theatre itself, Mr. Townley provided copies of programmes and photographs from his own collection to allow as full a picture as possible of the theatre to emerge. Further transfers of material for later years have taken place from the theatre.

System of arrangement
As the material was arranged into date order in most instances, that order has been maintained in the collection. Each record series has been given a separate letter, A for minute books, B for correspondence, C for financial material, D for programmes, E for photographs, F for posters and H for scripts. There was no coherent order in relation to the correspondence, and this was arranged by function and correspondent, and then by date.
