Approximately one third of the titles in the Catherine Graham Collection are Irish University Press reprints of Cuala Press titles, the press run by Elizabeth Yeats and W.B. Yeats between 1904 and 1946. The collection also contains original imprints from Cuala Press, both from its original run and from the 1970's when the Cuala Press was resurrected by W.B. Yeats' children, Michael and Anne Yeats, with Liam Miller. Dolmen Press titles are also represented, including a signed, limited edition of Austin Clarke's Mnemoysne Lay in the Dust, Denis John's The Brazen Horn: a non-book, the second edition of Richard Murphy's The Last Galway Hooker, Desmond O' Grady's The Gododdin, and J.M. Synge's (Robin Skelton, ed.) Some Sonnets from 'Laura in Death'. The collection also contains several scarce and valuable titles, including a signed first edition of Lady Gregory's My First Play: (Elkin Mathews and Marrot, 1930); and Poems and Ballads of Young Ireland, 1888: (M.H. Gill and Son, 1888).
