I am currently editing Roy McFadden's Letters, and working on a critical text on his literary life.

I have catalogued the papers of Thomas Carnduff and Roy McFadden. My catalogues The Collected Papers of Roy McFadden (2003) and The Thomas Carnduff Archive (1999) are available at Queen's University of Belfast Special Collections Library. The Carnduff catalogue is also available in the Linen Hall Library, Belfast.
