The Boston College University Libraries have digitized the James Jeffrey Roche Letters which are now part of the Boston College University Libraries Digital Collections. Roche (1870-1908) was an Irish born journalist who edited The Pilot, published poetry and biographies, was highly active in Boston Irish society, and served as the United States Consul in Italy and Switzerland.

This collection of correspondence contains letters from over forty-five individuals, including letters between Roche and Theodore Roosevelt, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Daniel Chester French. Read a blog post about the collection.
