The Royal Irish Academy

The lectures, some one-day workshops and 4 day workshops are being held at the Royal Irish Academy.

Directions to the Royal Irish Academy can be found at the RIA Website.

The Royal Irish Academy is Ireland’s premier learned body. It was founded in 1785 by royal charter, for the promotion and investigation of the sciences, polite literature, and antiquities, as well as the encouragement of discussion and debate between scholars of diverse backgrounds and interests. The RIA library has been a major research tool for those studying aspects of Irish history, archaeology, language, and culture. The library holds the largest collection of Irish manuscripts in a single repository, prime among those being the famous Cathach of Colm Cille, the Book of the Dune Cow (c. 1100), the later medieval Leabher Breac, the Book of Ballymote, as well as original manuscript volumes of the Annals of the Four Masters. A number of important projects are undertaken in Academy House, including Foclóir na Nua-Ghaeilge, Dictionary of Irish Biography and Dictionary of Medieval Latin from Celtic Sources, as well as the Irish Historic Towns Atlas. The Academy contributes policy advice to the Government, which finances the academy through the Higher Education Authority.

Some of the Workshops are being held at Trinity College Dublin. Direction for getting to Trinity College can be found at the Trinity Website.
