Mulloy, and other prominent Irish Americans from northeast Ohio, in July 2003. In October 2003, Frank Chambers, Chairman of Mayo County Council and other dignitaries from Mayo visited Cleveland. Their trip included a visit to the Western Reserve Historical Society. The collection consists of agendas, booklets, brochures, business cards, calendar, catalog, correspondence, drafts, fact sheets, financial report, flyers, handwritten notes, information packet, invitations, itineraries, lists, menu, minutes, newsletters, newspaper, newspaper clippings, notes, photographs, postcards, programs, resolution, summary and typescripts. These items were collected by Judge Sean C. Gallagher, who was involved in planning and organizing this event, and supplemented by Regina Costello. The material documents the celebration of the cultural connection between Irish Americans of Cleveland, Ohio to their roots in Achill, Ireland, with information on the planning, background, research and participants in the event.
