In the not too distant past a discussion on this list focused on
discrimination practices aimed at Irish immigrants. Today a friend referred
to a "No Irish Need Apply" incident in his family lore. I mentioned having
seen claims that no evidence of such a statement on signs in public places
has been produced. Did my mind/memory recall correctly? How was the
discussion resolved?
Thanks in advance for any response.

your editor wrote it -- Richard Jensen, "'No Irish Need Apply': A Myth of
Victimization," Journal of Social History 36.2 (2002) 405-429

The NINA slogan was common in Britain and a song written in London in 1862
was carried to the US, and became wildly popular among Irish Americans.
They all "remembered" the signs but never actually saw one because no
signs existed in the US (they did exist in England, where they originally
meant no Irish Protestants need apply). No archivist, museum or collector
ever found such a sign, nor a photograph. However, you can buy fakes on
ebay (the fakes are dated Boston Sept. 11, 1915).

My search of over a million want ads turned up two NINA want ads per ten
years of newspaper files. Turns out that employment statistics show there
is no actual evidence of anti-Irish discrimination in employment. However
the myth was central to the Irish identity as victims of Protestant elites,
with the moral that we Irish must always stick together (in work gangs,
politics, unions, Catholic Church).

Several decades ago, I did extensive but sporadic research in New York
City newspapers in the 1850s and 1860s, e.g., in the TRIBUNE, the HERALD,
and, after its inception, the TIMES. I wasn't looking for them, but I saw
many "No Irish Need Apply" notices (and several variations thereof, such
as "Any creed or color except Irish," "No Catholics Need Apply," etc.).

I'm not Irish or Catholic; I have no dog in this fight. But the argument
that anti-Irish discriminatory job notices did not appear in
mid-19th-century US mainstream newspapers, or were as extremely rare as
claimed below, is simply not true.

I participated in this absurd argument back in 2002. I don't want to
re-engage in what is, I believe, a politically- and ideologically-driven
debate--a US reflection of the extreme "revisionism" that dominates Irish
historical studies on the other side of the Atlantic.

Someone who informed me, back ca. 2002, that she also found numerous such
newspaper notices is Dr. Marian Casey at NYU. She's actually has studied
the matter, and fairly recently, whereas my exposure to the ads was long
ago and merely coincidental to other research I was doing at the time.
However, I did take verbatim notes on the ads I saw, so my research wasn't
casual or impressionistic.

In the mid-1960s, when I was doing research for my MA, I had to do read
articles in the New York Times and in the New York Tribune. The exciting
subject of my work was Governor Samuel Tilden (who would become the
Democratic presidential nominee in 1876) and his war against corruption in
the operation and repair of the Erie Canal and its offshoots. The
chronological focus would have been 1873-1876. Incidental to that research,
I occasionally came across want-ads seeking domestic help. I don't recall
seeing the acronym NINA or the exact phrase "No Irish Need Apply." I,
however, do recall words indicating either that Irish - or Catholic
applicants more generally - were not desired or that Protestants were
preferred. The existence of such prejudices was not a surprise to me, and I
did not take notes about the ads because they had no relevance to my actual
work. Nevertheless, they stuck in my mind, along with a "human interest"
story that some journalist at time found amusing and that caught my eye. It
involved a little girl who had developed a fascination with, and a talent
for, catching and killing with her bare hands rats and mice in her parents'
apartment or house. The newsman deemed her skill to be most commendable
but, even that long ago, I thought that modern psychologists would have
another impression of the child. I wonder what became of her.

I circulated a TABLET editorial from 1845 defending its publication of such
ads - the interesting point is that the TABLET at that stage was pro-Irish
nationalist. I can post the text to this list again if anyone wants it.

No Irish Need Apply. Amen

1.
I have a long term interest in the ways in which the new digital,
computerised technologies have changed and will change scholarship,
especially the ways in which we work in the study of the arts and the
humanities. I have advised on a number of digital humanities projects, and
have myself created online resources.

We have now reached a stage where anyone in the world with a reasonable
computer and web access can explore a theme within the humanities using
free online resources, like Google Books, Google Scholar, Google Ngram, the
Library of Congress Historic American Newspapers =96 and the on/off again
Google Historic Newspapers project. (There is already a visible problem
here, in that so many of these resources were created by a commercial
company, whose intentions might well be benign but whose long term plans
are never really clear.)

Furthermore, certain privileged individuals can access extraordinary
digital resources, especially newspaper archives, that are hidden behind
paywalls and passwords,.

It follows then that =96 for the first time in the history of the humanitie=
s
=96 a scholar can map out a research pathway across many different digital
text resources and ANOTHER scholar can EXACTLY follow that research
pathway, checking quotations and interpretations, quibbling or agreeing.
In the old days a scholar might disappear into a research library or
archive, and emerge many years later with transcriptions and a thesis =96
and, as he writes up that thesis, he will (as one historian put it)
occasionally =91need to remind us that he has read everything while we have
not=92. Maybe an odd obsessive might have had the time or the resources to
investigate these sources and these outcomes.

Now, in our new world, anyone can be obsessive=85

In fact, in many instances these investigations are now so easy that we can
find ourselves with an obscure feeling that this is, somehow, cheating=85

2.
Looking for a case study=85 In Irish Diaspora Studies we have a strange
little crux around the issue of newspaper and other advertisements for jobs
which suggest, in one way or another =96 and sometimes in so many words =96
that =91No Irish Need Apply=92. A little trick now available is to find a =
key
article, search for it within Google Scholar, and see how its arguments are
cited and developed. We have a key article=85

Jensen, R. J.
'No Irish Need Apply': A Myth of Victimization Journal of Social History,
2002, 36, Winter 2002

Richard Jensen=92s title more than hints at his conclusions.

Be that as it may, going into the resources outlined above, it is quite
easy to find job advertisements saying =91No Irish Need Apply=92 in newspap=
ers
from the 1830s onwards. I already have one hundred examples and I would
anticipate, eventually, having a collection that reaches some hundreds.
This is not hard.

And of course we have the full newspaper page on which the advertisement
appears. We can therefore put these advertisements in a context =96 I thin=
k
that this is the first time this has been done. We can put the No Irish
advertisements alongside other advertisements. We can analyse format and
language. We can see what groups were encouraged or not encouraged to
Apply, and to Apply for what.

Newspapers, of course, always give a date and place of publication, and it
should be possible to map and chart advertisements of interest =96 and
language forms of interest.

3.
Further, these advertisements attracted comment and discussion in their own
time. Some will use the advertisements as straightforward evidence that
the Irish are, literally, undesirables. But, also, from the very
beginning, there is a trope in place: the Irish are rejected here and now
(at whatever date now is) but in time of war they are expected to enlist,
and do voluntarily enlist, and do serve bravely. (This trope thus links
with, later in the nineteenth century, the American Civil War, and what I
have elsewhere called =91the argument from Fredericksburg=92.)

Part of Jensen=92s argument is that the complaints about the advertisements
continue after the advertisements themselves have long disappeared =96 so
that the complaint and the trope are useful to an Irish sense of grievance
and victimisation. He also questions the existence of signs, saying No
Irish, at places of work or in lodging houses. This issue too can be
further explored.

4.
However, the research record is somewhat complicated =96 by a song. Or
songs. A number of songs with the title =91No Irish Need Apply=92 can be
located =96 they act out the basic trope in jolly rhymes =96 and performanc=
es
in Britain, the USA, Australia, and so on, can be found in the research
record. Performances of these songs required the performer to come on to
the stage, with copy of a local newspaper =96 the performer finds therein t=
he
offending advertisement and proceeds to sing the song. It needs to be
pedantically added that an account of such a performance, on such a day, in
such a city, the opening of such a newspaper, is NOT in itself evidence
that there was a No Irish Need Apply advertisement in that newspaper, in
that city, on that day. These performances, and the performance of many
similar songs are =96 like performances of Boucicault=92s =91Irish=92 plays=
=96
sacramental, diasporic celebrations of Irishness.

5.
The material that I have collected so far I have saved in my computer as
pdf files. This might not be the best option =96 and I should seek advice.
But I speak here as someone who has used computers in work for decades,
and who has seen favourite operating systems, word processor packages,
bibliography systems and databases, all cease to be supported and cease
being useful. The only computer storage system that has remained stable
over that time has been pdf files.

How would I present this material, in some sort of =91publication=92? One
obvious answer might be a web site. There is also a way forward that would
involve my writing a traditional academic article, and using only a small
sample of the material I have outlined here. But this is to go back to my
occasionally needing to remind you that I have read everything and you have
not.

The list has been slow for some time so now seems a god time to remind
members to share news of publications -- both when they appear and when they
are accepted. Those members who are editors are asked to consider sending
TOC or abstracts of articles if it is convenient. It is our list and it
will be what we make of it.



I was planning a sabbatical for fall 2013, but instead will be teaching in
an MSU program in Regensburg, Germany that is affiliated with the university
there. Settlement at Regensburg goes back to the Romans and earlier and
includes the foundation of a monastery by Irish monks. I'm not sure my
Latin is up to research on that, but we'll see. I do hope to be able to
attend some conferences in Ireland, the UK, and on the continent that time
and distance would normally rule out. I will be closer and air fares lower.
This will be my second time in Regensburg and I am looking forward to it.
Your moderators will ensure the list functions well.

(Apologies if you are getting this twice, I also posted to the WOIRN list)

Hello All,

Hoping someone can help me with this query. I am trying to trace any
information on Mrs. Frances Wrenne. She was a member of the Commission on
Emigration and Other Population Problems and is simply noted as being from
Cork - not very helpful!

I think she may, however, be the person referred to in this book
Our daily bread / by Joseph Reilly ; foreword by Prof. J. C. Saunders,
afterword by Alfred O'Rahilly, recipes by Mrs Frances Wrenne, Cork, Forum
Press, 1941which is held at the National Library of Australia (
http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1778226/Details?) so I can't go and look
at it myself!

Does anyone have any other details on her? Her name sounds familiar to me
but I just can't place her and I am hoping someone can help

Thanks and best wishes

Jennifer

A Google search turns up the death in Mallow in 2006 of Fr Francis Xavier
Wrenne "only son of the late Joe and Frances Wrenne" and a 1948 COMPLETE
BOOK OF VEGETABLES AND FRUIT coauthored by Frances Wrenne with Joseph
Reilly and Gerard O Sherrard - possibly the Reilly of OUR DAILY BREAD.
Fr JA Gaughan's four-volume life of Alfred O'Rahilly might have something.
From 1953 she contributed a women's column to the FOLD, the Cork diocesan

Dear all,

This is just to alert list members that I have a new article out in Irish S=
tudies Review on county identity in the Irish diaspora. It's called "BIFFOs=
, jackeens and Dagenham Yanks: county identity, =93authenticity=94 and the =
Irish diaspora" and it's available online here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0=
9670882.2013.808874=20

Abstract:

Despite being an everyday point of reference in Irish discourse, the extent=
to which the county serves as a locus of identification has been oddly ove=
rlooked in the Irish studies literature. In particular, the persistence of =
identification with the county of origin post-migration offers new insights=
on the construction and maintenance of identity within the Irish diaspora.=
Drawing on my PhD research on discourses of authenticity and identity amon=
g the Irish in England, this article investigates the ways in which county =
identity is invoked both by Irish migrants and those of Irish descent. It i=
llustrates how the county is used as a rhetorical tool to situate the speak=
er within discourses of belonging and authenticity, but how this may also a=
ct as a constraint on the articulation of a collective, diasporic identity.=
It argues for a greater research focus on translocalism within the context=
of changing Ireland=96diaspora relations.



Any questions, comments or feedback welcome.
