Over a ten-year period Mike and Billy gathered, collated and catalogued a photographic collection of school images stretching back to the 19th century.
These images – in their hundreds – are a compendium of life in the College since its foundation.
Denis O’Donoghue began to research the past presidents of the school in the late 1990s.
This initial research led to a detailed document on the social history of the school from the 1850’s through to the 1970s.
They are a rich and valuable storehouse of the school’s traditions and storied past and a treasure throve for the curious past pupil, the historian or indeed our future students and teachers.
The school hopes to place the archive on permanent display in the near future.
