Working with the Sources
Historical Archives
The surviving documentary records of the Irish in Europe are held in a great number of archival repositories, most of them in continental collections. Work to catalogue, present and, in some cases, restore these sources continues in a number of libraries and archives. The work of archivists, librarians and information technology experts is an indispensable part of the Irish in Europe research project.
Virtual Research Enviroment
The Irish in Europe Project provides integrated access in a customised virtual research environment to four legacy databases. The humanities data modeling and information technology components of the IRCHSS-funded project to process and host these databases was conceived by John Keating (NUI Maynooth), assisted by Damien Gallagher.
