3 March 2010 - IRITH (Irish Resources in the Humanities) is now hosted by the DHO. IRITH was developed in 1999 by Dr. Susan Schreibman 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.
IRITH includes entries on a broad range of subjects and these are categorised under the rubrics of archaeology, architecture, art, biographical, film, geography, grants & fellowships, history, Irish language, literature and music.
The site conveniently brings together a wealth of diverse material from across disciplines and centuries. For example, one can navigate with ease from the ‘Lexicon of Old Irish’ to ‘Irish Impressionists Art’ or from ‘Celtic Art Cultures’ to ‘Dancing at Lughnasa: The Movie’. The site, thus, repays and rewards both the casual browser with an interest in Irish culture, and the serious researcher of Irish Studies.
Irish Resources in the Humanities welcomes suggestions for links. To conribute, please e-mail details of the site to Dr. Schreibman (s.schreibman@ria.ie) or Associate Editor, Dr. Emily Cullen (e.cullen@ria.ie). Please include the site name, its URL, and a brief abstract in your message.
The site is accessible at: http://irith.org and from the DHO's resources page at: http://dho.ie/resources
