CollectionThe Sullivan Barry Collection
Collection DescriptionThese papers are named after the Sullivan and Barry families who wrote and received the documents preserved in the collection. They relate to the late nineteenth-century experience of emigration among Sullivan siblings and cousins, Mary Barry and Mary Conway. Though the amount of direct information about the extended family is limited, the father of the two main correspondents, Denis and Hanorah Sullivan, was widowed before their departure.
