Welcome to the online home of the Teresa Deevy Archive. Teresa Deevy was born in Waterford in 1894 and her first staged play, ‘The Reapers’ debuted in the Abbey Theatre in 1930. Throughout that decade a number of her plays were produced by the Abbey. Deevy fell out favour with the national theatre by 1939 and from then on her writing was most likely to be performed for radio – though her work was frequently performed by a range of dramatic groups, both amateur and professional. Many of Teresa's papers have been digitised and can be accessed via the 'Browse Collections' link above. These include scripts, published versions of Deevy’s writings, theatre programmes and other memorabilia from theatrical productions, details of broadcast productions, correspondence, and newspaper clippings. For a more detailed introduction to the different collections available please see here. https://deevy.nuim.ie
The 3U Digital Humanities Project is a collaborative venture by 3U Partnership Libraries and the Department of History, Maynooth University, aimed at creating an Irish online, open access, digital humanities research resource that supports professional training in archives management. It involves collaborations between academic historians, librarians and archivists across the 3U partner Institutions and offers a template for presenting thematic digital collections which combine academic scholarship with curated online archival collections from the libraries of Maynooth University, RCSI, and St Patrick’s College, DCU. The 3U Outsider Women online exhibition explores the lives of three Irish women from the worlds of medicine (Emily Winifred Dickson), Irish language study (Agnes O’Farrelly or Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh) and and literature (Teresa Deevy). In her essay Exploring the Lives of Outsider Women, Dr Jennifer Redmond, Department of History at Maynooth University, explains the importance of these three women to Irish history and explores their contribution to the societies of which they were a part, yet outside. Outsider Women is a collaboration between the 3U Partnership Libraries whereby each institution digitised an archival collection and has made it available as an online exhibition. The first thematic collection, Outsider Women (September 2015), is an online archival collection which explores the lives of three Irish women from the worlds of medicine (Emily Winifred Dickson), Irish language study (Agnes O’Farrelly or Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh), and literature (Teresa Deevy). http://3u.ie/3u-digital-humanities/outsider-women
