While this may seem like accomplishment enough, it is mostly through his devotion to the collecting and dissemination of Irish traditional music that he is known to us today. During his time as chief, O'Neill recruited many traditional Irish musicians into the police force, including James O'Neill, Bernard Delaney, John McFadden and James Early. James O'Neill, no relation, became Francis's scribe as Francis set out to notate as many Irish tunes as possible. He then published the quintessential collection of Irish tunes, O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903). Other books were published and these books are still a main source for Irish traditional music today. O'Neill also purchased an Edison phonograph to record the great Irish musicians of his times. Unfortunately the recordings were thought lost until in 2003 Dr. David Dunn presented the Ward Irish Music Archives (WIMA) with a suitcase of 32 home made cylinders. Dr. Dunn's grandfather Michael was a contemporary and friend of O'Neill. Thanks to an agreement with the Library of Congress the 32 recordings were digitized.
