This collection comprises the papers and correspondence of the Kevin Barry Memorial Committee. The Committee was formed to raise funds to create a memorial to Kevin Barry (20 January 1902–1 November 1920). Barry, a medical student at University College Dublin, was executed for his part in an ambush which resulted in the deaths of three British Army officers. The Committee commissioned Harry Clarke Stained Glass Limited to create a stained glass window dedicated to Kevin Barry and the other students and graduates of University College Dublin who lost their lives in the struggle for Irish Independence. The window, designed by Richard King, was erected in Earlsfort Terrace and unveiled on 1 November 1934. In 2010, the window was conserved, restored and relocated in the Charles Institute at Belfield, the current campus of University College Dublin.

Letter from Tadhg O Neill, 1 Montpellier Terrace, Wellington Road, Cork, to Bourke concerning a report in the Irish Press that Joseph J. O' Donoghue IV – "(another one of the uncrowned kings)" - had subscribed $100 to the Kevin Barry Memorial Fund. "As far as I remember it was intended that subscriptions should be taken only from graduates of U.C.D. for the memorial.
