About Library Ireland

The LibraryIreland.com project was commenced in February 2005 with the aim of providing free information on all aspects of Ireland —antiquities, biography, folklore, genealogy, history, names, social history, and much more besides.

The wealth of Irish texts is constantly growing, so a sitemap has been added to aid navigation, although this is restricted through necessity to the main architecture of the site, and it is therefore worth making use of the search facility to find what lies buried deep in the heart of Library Ireland.

It is hoped that the material provided online will stimulate further interest and research, and consequently help in the preservation of the country's rich historical heritage.
