Papers containing research notes and drafts for books, articles, and concert programs about Irish poet Thomas Moore, created by American tenor Wilbur Broms. Included are programs and planning materials for anniversary concerts of Moore's music performed by Broms and colleagues, as well as material created toward They Shall Never Sound in Slavery, Broms's unpublished three-volume work about Thomas Moore and musical settings of his poetry, especially by Hector Berlioz.

Also present are collected materials about communism, particularly in Ireland and among Irish-Americans, as well as drafts and notes for Beware of the Risen People: A Working Class View of the Irish Rebellion, Broms's unpublished book about the early twentieth century Irish independence movement through a Marxist lens.

There is a small amount of personal material about Broms himself, including his resume and other promotional material.
