Irish mining in periodicals
and anthologies
1955-1995.
|
|
This bibliography lists all known
Irish mining references over the past forty years in journals, magazines and
research collections. It does not include dedicated studies or monographs, nor
newspaper items (would anybody like to try a comprehensive listing of these?!).
The start-date date is because earlier references are quite comprehensively
listed in Hayes’ Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation, Vol. 7,
Massachusetts. 1970.
The convention of listing
alphabetically by author is followed here because it can be collated easily into
existing indices. However, as this listing grows into the future (as surely it
must!), it will become increasingly difficult to span it visually to search for
one’s area of interest and more desirable to use computer search programmes.
Therefore, where the wording of the title does not clearly indicate the
contents, key words relating to location, period or mineral, are put in
brackets,
plus any warning where the title is likely to be misleading.
To search for an author click on
the first letter of surname above.
