The work of our scholars—students, faculty, and visitors—is grounded in our Hesburgh Libraries' rich and extensive Irish Studies collections. In these Irish Studies Research sessions, participants will become familiar with important resources for research in Irish studies. The sessions are independent of one another, and individuals may attend one of more sessions as they choose.
