Articles by me on archaeology and history (arranged chronologically)

• Book review: David Sox (1988) The Shroud Unmasked
• Women and personal possessions: 17th century testamentary evidence from counties Waterford and Kilkenny, Ireland. This is an interdisciplinary study in that it attempts to combine both archaeological and historical evidence.
• Hercules Langrishe: Irish Catholic emancipationist or self-serving politician? Revised on 18 October 1999, this article deals with an eighteenth-century MP for Knocktopher, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland.
• Famines and the environment: The case of the Great Irish Famine. This looks at the value of examining the environmental impact of historical famines to identify particularly vulnerable habitats in regions where famines may occur again, to determine how the environment repairs itself over a long period of time, and to develop ways of minimising the ecological damage caused by such famines (thereby possibly reducing the risk of famine in the first place).
• Is there a dearth in our Famine heritage? Conserving the fabric of Waterford City's Famine experience. Identifies areas or buildings that are associated with the Great Famine in Waterford city and which merit conservation.
• An untapped genealogical resource regarding Norwegian seafarers: the Irish census return of 1901. Persons with Norwegian ancestry, or with an interest in Norwegian seafaring, may find valuable references here to early twentieth-century Irish records dealing with Norwegians who were present in Ireland at the time of the Irish 1901 census.

Other articles by me

• 'Local history and the digital frontier.' Editorial from Decies 54 which considers how local history (including the journal Decies) can be published on the Web.
• 'Citation indexing and Irish periodicals in the arts and humanities.' Finds that Irish periodicals are seriously under-represented by the citation indexes published by the Institute of Scientific Information and considers how an Irish citation index might help resolve the problem.

More material will be added as time goes by, so check out this site on a regular basis!

Irish-interest sites

• My friend, Pat McInerney's home page, mysteriously called Outport (http://members.tripod.com/~outport/), once included a far out discussion on robotics (from the point of view of robotics nerds), but the site hasn't been updated for a few years....
