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.

The Richmond Hospital Medical Illustrations is a collection of illustrations depicting medical conditions treated at the Richmond Hospital, Dublin. The illustrations mainly date from the 19th century, with a small number from the early 20th century, and many depict diseases that are now not commonly seen. The illustrations are accompanied by two catalogues listing the drawings. The artist is not identified for many of the illustrations but known artists include J. Connolly, J.H. Burnside, Miss B. O'Farrell, and Sydney A. Sewell. The cases depicted include those treated by surgeons associated with Richmond Hospital such as Robert Adams, Edward Hutton, Christopher Fleming, John Hamilton, and Robert William Smith. This collection will be of interest to medical educators and practitioners, public health specialists, historians of medicine, social historians and humanities scholars more generally.

The Dublin Town Planning Competition was held in 1914, with the aim to "elicit Plans and Reports of a preliminary and suggestive character, and thus obtain contributions and alternatives which may be of value towards the guidance of the future development of the City in its various directions". The Dublin civic survey report refers to the competition as the Aberdeen Competition, probably due to the prize for the best design which was presented by the Marquis of Aberdeen and Temair. Eight entries were submitted in total, each relating to the Greater Dublin area, taking in Howth, Glasnevin, Ashtown, Dundrum and Dalkey. The main headings for the proposals included: 1. Communications; 2. Housing; and 3. Metropolitan improvements. The submission by Patrick Abercrombie, Sydney Kelly and Arthur Kelly was awarded the prize in 1916. Due to major political and historical events, the winning entry was not officially published until 1922, with the final Civic Report not published until 1925. Out of the eight entries, only three are known to have survived.
