LEGACY

It was during Hewson’s directorship that responsibility for the funding of NLI passed from the Department of Education to the Department of the Taoiseach. It remained the responsibility of this department until 1992 when a new government department was established with responsibility for culture. These steps paved the way for the 2005 establishment of the NLI as an autonomous national cultural institution[2].


Michael Hewson raised the profile of the NLI by represented it at various national and international committees such as the Irish Manuscripts Commission. He was instrumental in establishing cooperation with the British Library with the founding of the Newsplan project, a co-operative preservation project for newspapers in Ireland and the United Kingdom[3][4].

Despite his directorship coinciding with significant budget constraints, he started extensive refurbishment of the library, redeveloping the Kildare Street Club premises to house the Department of Manuscripts[4].


As well as working for the NLI, Michael Hewson was a keen user of the NLI’s manuscript collection, seeing it as an important resource for Irish history[4]. As such he researched and wrote various articles on local and national history. Between 1965 and 1981 he published four articles in the North Munster Antiquarian Journal[5][6] on various aspects of the history of Co. Clare, his home county. Between 1962 and 1964 Michael Hewson published five popular history articles in The Irish Independent on a wide array of Irish social history topics: the history of the animal designs on early coinage of the Republic of Ireland[7]; the history of Edward Jenner, inventor of the smallpox vaccine; the surprising history of sedan chairs in 1800s Dublin; the story of Henry Ford’s connection with Co. Cork; and of Vere Foster, inventor of a style of handwriting copybook for young school children.


His most significant published work is the 1975 Catalogue of Irish Topographical Prints and Original Drawings, which he co-authored with Rosalind M Elmes[1].
