AskAboutIreland.ie is a free open access resource that could be useful for those studying in Education, English, History or Geography.A couple of areas of particular relevance to St. Pat's are:
Learning Zone - online activities and games for primary school students
Griffith's Valuation - a digitised version of 19th Century land valuations
Excellent articles on Irish history, myth and culture can be found by browsing through the Reading Room - things like Ghost Stories of Dublin, Cúchalainn's wooing of Emer or the Seven Septs of Laois. There's an article on Irish Authors by Dr. Derek Hand from our English Department.
The site is an initiative of public libraries, museums and archives in Ireland to digitally preserve our cultural resources. It was founded in 2008 and resources are still being added to it as they become available in digital form.
The project is managed by An Comhairle Leabharlanna and supported by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government with funding from the Information Society Fund.
