Connacht Landed Estates Project

The Connacht Landed Estates project, funded by the Irish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, under its Thematic Projects (Research Infrastructure) Grants, undertook the research for, and the publication of, a comprehensive and integrated resource guide to landed estates and gentry houses in Connacht, c. 1700-1914. The aim of the guide is to assist and support researchers working on the social, economic, political and cultural history of Connacht from c.1700 to 1914.
The project involved the distillation and collation of data from a broad range of historical sources, and the concise codification of these data on an estate/name basis. The optimum use of the data determined that the database be published in electronic form. Full details of the sources used can be viewed under Reference Sources in the database. See the Help link for further details on the creation of the database.
The Project was hosted by the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences at the National University of Ireland, Galway.

New Library Design Resource Launched

Two professional bodies with expertise in library design have joined forces to create a unique gateway to key information on public, national and academic library buildings in the UK, Ireland and throughout the world. SCONUL and Designing Libraries, two bodies with a history of expertise in this area, have recognised that many design problems are common to library building across sectors, particularly with the increasing provision of joint-use libraries. Designing Libraries, a web portal with a database and images of recent public library building projects and links to a large collection of resources, provides a new platform for SCONUL's academic library buildings database and to collaborate with SCONUL in sharing best practice in library design.
