The collection is formed from items originally acquired by UCC Library from 1930s-1940s. The collection contains some of the Dublin Poet pamphlet series.
The collection prefix before the call number is: Gayfield Press.
Blanaid Salkeld (1880-1959), poet and publisher, established the Gayfield Press in her home in Morehampton Road in 1937. The Gayfield Press specialised in limited editions and broadsheets, publishing what was deemed by Salkeld to be ‘the best of the Irish artists.’ The Gayfield Press gave a platform to new and emerging poets, while appealing to established poets, or those with the means to do so, to fore go payment. Gayfield Press published 8 books and 9 pamphlets.
