Some Recent Articles on Irish Migration
Electronic publishing offers an exciting way of making texts and other materials available to a global readership. This is particularly suitable for the topic of migration studies, where the subjects are themselves part of a global community.
We plan to develop these pages as a full-text on-line resource. If you would like to submit a text (subject to the appropriate copyrights and permissions) please email us. We would be grateful if material could be submitted in hypertext form if possible (graphics, charts etc. should be in .gif format). If this is not possible, however, we would still be glad to receive printed copy for subsequent scanning onto the site.
