Jack Carney, c. 1928 Jack Carney, c. 1928
Jack Carney, c. 1928
Dublin native James Curry, history and digital humanities doctoral scholar at the National University of Ireland Galway, gives an introduction to the Jack Carney papers held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection of the Special Collections Library. Carney was a left-wing journalist who edited or wrote for various labor, socialist and communist newspapers in Ireland, Britain and America during the decades prior to his death in London in 1956.

The Jack Carney papers were donated to the Joseph A. Labadie Collection by Virginia Hyvarinen. Named for Detroit labor organizer and anarchist Joseph Antoine Labadie (1850-1933), the Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the 19th century to the present.

James Curry, in his first visit to the U.S., is spending a month doing research in the Special Collections Library with the Jack Carney papers.
