Scope and content
The section includes a small collection of records relating to the Association of Patrons of 'The Capuchin Annual' (APCA). The Association was founded in 1944 with the goal of raising money to support the continued production of the publication. Both Irish and international subscribers to the APCA were provided with copies of the 'Annual' and 'The Father Mathew Record' in return for their financial support. Lists of APCA subscribers were printed in various editions of the 'Annual'. By 1967 it was noted that the APCA had become the ‘mainstay of the "Annual’s" sales organization’.
