Visit our sister institute at Cork, the International Famine Centre, which remembers the more than one million people who died and nearly two million who were exiled during Ireland's famine by working to prevent the present-day recurrence of famine elsewhere in the world.

Cobh was the most significant port of emigration for the southern half of Ireland from the mid-19th century until the advent of mass air travel. Visit the site of 'Cobh: the Queenstown Story' at http://www.cobhheritage.com

The Centre for Migration Studies at the Ulster-American Folk Park near Omagh, Co. Tyrone, is a specialised research centre which engages in teaching and research in Irish migration. The ICMS works in close collaboration with the Centre.

A comprehensive set of migration-related links will be found at the World-Wide Web Virtual Library Migration and Ethnic Relations. This excellent service is maintained by ERCOMER - the European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations - at the University of Utrecht, Netherlands.
