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.
