101. Cahill, Tom Cahill, Tom The Thomas Cahill papers were among the first collections acquired by the Performing Arts Archives Project when it was started in 1982. They were - generated over a period of thirty years and consist mainly of typescripts of Cahill's original works for stage, radio and television. Originally the clippings and - programs were filed separately from the scripts and some of the programs had been transferred to the Programs Collection. These were retrieved and - reintegrated into the files in order to maintain the integrity of the fonds. While they are not a complete record of Cahill's work in the performing arts, these - records do allow the researcher an overview of his growth as a playwright during the first thirty years of his career.

107. Carbery, Ellen Carbery, Ellen This poem is but a single example of the work of Ellen Carbery. It is important not only as illustrative of her work, but also of a discontinued practice of having poems printed on card stock, with ornate decoration; particularly poems which commemorated particular events or people. These were given to people who may have had some connection with the event or person. Sometimes they would be for sale. - None of Carbery's original manuscripts are known to have survived. This poem, together with the poems and articles that were published in various newspapers and magazines are all that is known of her life as a writer. There is even less to document her life as a prominent St. John's business woman in the decades just before and after the turn of the 19th century. This poem should be of interest to students of literature of her period. The intrinsic value of the format should not be overlooked. MF-332

111. Cave, William Henry Cave, William Henry Newfoundland election campaigns in the period before Confederation with Canada were highly spirited affairs. Many things were said and printed, both in election hand-outs and in newspaper advertising and editorials, that would probably be considered libellous or slanderous by late twentieth century standards. The items contained in this small collection are relatively tame in comparison to some of the statements made during election campaigns, but they do contain some provocative statements. Such campaign material was an integral part of electioneering and provides insight into the way political campaigning was conducted in Newfoundland in the per-confederate era. MF-321
