Scope and Contents

In 1995, to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Great Famine in Ireland, Glucksman Ireland House sponsored and hosted the International Conference on Hunger, which examined the history of famine on a global scale. Glucksman Ireland House also coordinated the creation of a small exhibition focused on the Great Famine that was displayed concurrent with the conference.

Series I: International Conference on Hunger contains various materials including press releases, newspaper advertisements, budgets, meeting minutes, grant proposals and applications for conference funding, solicitations to outside corporate sponsors for conference funding, conference pre-registration and registration confirmation cards, memorandum, newspaper clippings, correspondence, profiles about conference presenters, mailing lists, as well as conference brochures and programs. This series also contains printed copies of papers presented at the conference, as well as 3 floppy disks holding digital copies of some conference papers.

It should be noted in this series, although folders 18-21 contain the word "video" in the title, these folders do not contain any audiovisual materials. These folders only contain papers.
