Post by: XANDRA on Thursday 25 September 08 20:09 BST (UK)

I am researching  the  history  of  St. Nathy's College  Ballaghadereen  Roscommon .
The  college  which w as  once a  boarding  school  with  many  students  from  all  over  the  country will  celebrate  its  200th birthday  in  2010 .We  hope  that  Students  who  attended  would  be  willing  to  share  their  photographs , newspaper  cuttings  or  memoirs  with  us  . All  items  will  be returned , with  our  thanks .

Hi Christopher ,
Thank  you  that  is  a  great  idea . we  have  been  very  lucky  so  far , with people  contacting  us . But  we  do  have  200  years  to  cover , and  we  are  really  hoping  that  people  whose  relations  came  to  the  college  in  the 1850s/60s or  even  before  will  come  foreward  . Being  one  of t he  top  boarding  schools  in  the  country  at  once  time ,  we  put  so  many  students  through  our hands , and  we  really  want  to try  and  find  out  as  much  as  possible  and  not  have  the  heartbreaking event  of  people  contacting  us  too  late  for  publication . Thanks  so  much  for  your  interest .

Hello xandra,

What is the final date that people can submit their photographs , newspaper  cuttings  or  memoirs to you? It looks as though you've overlooked mentioning it. It would help if people knew the date. It could save some heartbreak by those not included in the publication due to being late.
