The Delaney Letter and Picture Postcard Collection

To celebrate St Patrick’s Day, we have launched this collection of family letters sent from America home to Pollaturick, Milltown in the early part of the 20th century. In 1937, one of these writers was pleased to receive an Irish shamrock. Special thanks to the Delaney family for sharing this collection where you can browse through the originals and transcripts below.
