Scope and content

This file consists of one journal comprised of 39 black and white photographs and accompanying narrative and ephemera dated between 1937-1940. The journal describes Robinson's return to his homeland, Ireland, to work for the Turf Development Board on Clonsast Bog in Leix. The journal includes postcards of Ireland, Robinson's passport, four insurance cards, and membership cards in the National Health Insurance Society. There is also a Canadian Immigration Identification Card which was issued at St. John, New Brunswick in 1940 when the Robinson's re-entered Canada, as well as memorabilia from the trip on the steamer "Duchess of Richmond." The photographs include images of Robinson, his wife, friends they met in Ireland and drainage and leveling of the bog.
