Irish Republican Army Part 1 of 7 61-7606 Sect 1-5.pdf
·
This file only
61-7606 is the FBI’s old main file on the Irish Republican Army. 61 is the classification (treason / internal security in that era). 7606 is the case number. When the paper got too thick they bound it into sections. Joshua Smith’s 2015 release is seven PDFs covering sections 1–32, from 1939 into the early 1990s. A serial is one document inside a section (a letter, teletype, or clipping). The file list follows those PDFs, not the serial numbers.
The 2015 drop includes a second PDF with an embedded text layer for some parts (_text). Same pages as the scan; that copy is omitted from the file list. Word-level OCR differs and search may still hit both.

The IRISH REPUBLIC
The Ports, Mr. de Valera? What About The Republic?
Churchill is deValera's best friend, his best friend because,
just when dev's popular support was on the wane, the Hon-
ourable Churchill-who-fighta-for-Bmall-nations came along
