Collection Description

Biographical and Historical Note

The Dolmen Press was founded by Liam and Josephine Miller in 1951. The Press operated in Dublin from 1951 until Liam Miller's death in 1987. Founded to provide a publishing outlet for Irish poetry, the Press also heavily featured the work of Irish artists. The scope of the press grew to include prose literature by Irish authors as well as a broad range of critical works about Irish literature and theater. The life and works of W.B. Yeats is a recurring theme in a variety of works, including the Yeats Centenary Series. One highlight in the Press' history was the publication of The Tain in 1969. Thomas Kinsella's translation of the Irish epic poem took 15 years from concept to publication and represented a milestone in Irish publishing. By the 1980s the Press had created the Brogeen Books division for juvenile works, and many of the later publications were under this imprint.

Scope and Content Note

This series consists of bank files, invoices, journals, ledgers, receipts, reports and other information relating to the financial operations of the Dolmen Press. Some original ledgers of the Dun Emer and Cuala Presses are also included. The documents range in date from 1942 to 1986, with the bulk of the documents dating from the 1960s to mid-1980s.
