Photos of the funeral of Tom Smith (1975)

Some photos taken from the 28 March 1975 issue of An Phoblacht. The man knocked back with the baton strike was Niall Fagan.

Paper was donated by Irish Republican Archive on Instagram and will be uploaded next month to the archive.

Help Needed - On This Day Section

I've launched a section on the website which highlights events in Irish Republican history. I compiled the list myself from numerous sources and I would love any suggestions from different perspectives. I can't add too many anniversaries of fallen volunteers as it would overwhelm it and I have a roll of honour section for them.

1981: The Year of the Hunger Strikes (republicanarchive.com)

This section brings together over 175 primary source documents from that pivotal year, forming the largest collection of 1981 hunger strike material available online. The holdings span the full breadth of contemporary republican documentation including issues of An Phoblacht/Republican News, prisoner statements, H-Block committee newsletters, election literature, commemorative booklets, and campaign posters.

Together they offer a month by month view of how the strike was experienced, communicated, and contested in real time, from the first days of Sands’ fast through to the end of the campaign in October.

Here is a very early poster from the Provisionals so that this subreddit doesn't become an IRSM love in.
