Researching Catholic anti-communism

I am an Irish Research Council-funded PhD student in NUI Galway, in my secnd year. My PhD topic is ‘Irish Catholic Anti-Communism in the era of John Charles McQuaid, 1940-1971’.

I have already contacted the various diocesan archives and a number of archives held by Catholic Action organisations and religious orders regarding archival material for my thesis, but I was wondering if individual readers may have correspondence, minute books, or similar material from Catholic religious or Catholic Action organisations which touch on Catholic anti-communist ‘vigilance’ in the period.
