I'm not sure how I let this one slip past, but I received the following e-mail from Library Ireland (a division of Books Ulster...... <A HREF="mailto:booksulster@btopenworld.com">booksulster@btopenworld.com</A>). They put a lot of books and articles free on-line. Here's the beginning of their letter from back on 20 Dec.: .............................................................................. ............................................ www.LibraryIreland.com First, we have in our possession two scarce local histories - `Early Irish History and Antiquities and the History of West Cork' by Rev. W. O'Halloran, published in 1916, and `History of the County Kerry: Corkaguiney' by Patrick Foley, published in 1907. We would like to reproduce at least parts of them for the Library, but need to ascertain if they are out of copyright. Despite numerous enquiries we have been unable to find out the dates of these authors, so if you are part of a Cork or Kerry history or genealogical group then perhaps could make some enquiries concerning these histories and, if you have any success, let us know. .............................................................................. ........................................... Perhaps some of you on these lists will have this information. The rest of their letter lists a couple of dozen new items which are available free on-line. They also give an e-mail addy of ..... info@libraryireland.com at the end of their letter. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
