Widener Houses Irish Microfilms

While the U. S. mint stores its valuables in the steel and concrete bastions of Fort Knox, the Irish Government has gone it one better and has turned the catacombs of Widener into its private treasure house.

Over 120 microfilm transcripts of rare and ancient historical documents are now lying in Widener's stacks. The microfilm came here under a new plan jointly sponsored by the Government of Ireland, the Eire Society of Boston, and the University.
