Two personal scrapbooks of writer and Gaelic revivalist Iain Moffatt-Pender, comprising mostly clippings, photographs, and correspondence which together throw an interesting light on the social milieu of Scottish Gaelic revivalism in the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, including links with Irish artists and academics.
The frist album contains several black-and-white family phtorgraphs dating from the beginning and middle of the 20th century, a letter from John Macmillan dated 5 July 1957, Moffatt-Pender's graduation certificates, postcards, and many newspaper clippings in English and in Gaelic relating to Gaelic culture, arts, and politics, and clippings relating to Iain Moffatt-Pender himself (including on his graduation from Edinburgh University in 1951).
The second album is similar in contents to the first one, and contains black-and-white photographs (seemingly more recent than the ones in the first album), handwritten notes in Gaelic, newspaper clippings including articles related to his crowning as Bard by the Mòd, pictures of British and French Rugby teams in the 1940s (and one in 1909), and articles related to Gaelic affairs and events in general.
