Irish Resources in the Humanities (IRITH) is as a gateway to sites on the World Wide Web that contain substantial content in the various disciplines of the humanities in the area of Irish Studies. Some 270 resources are listed from all continents. These include descriptions to thematic research collections, Irish studies associations, libraries, museums, databases, journals, and publishers.

IRITH was first was developed in 1999 at University College Dublin by Dr. Susan Schreibman as a series of static HTML pages. In Spring 2002 the site was converted to an XML-based database at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH). In early 2006, the University of Maryland Libraries replaced the XML database with a relational database. It is now hosted by the Digital Humanities Observatory.
