About The Event

In 1916, Irish nationalist men and women rose up against England to fight for Ireland’s independence. England’s centuries–long rule of Ireland had resulted in numerous Irish revolutions over the years. The Irish rising of Easter week, 1916, however, was unique in that it initiated the final steps towards Irish independence. As Ireland prepares for the 100-year anniversary of the Easter Rising, the Villanova University Falvey Memorial Library’s Special Collections commemorates the event in this exhibit of items held in the Joseph McGarrity Collection.
