Hello, TIGS Friends, A tip for you: Within the next few weeks, theCork University Press in Ireland will publish a new and important work titled The Atlas of the Great Irish Famine,featuring essays by many important Irish historians including New York Statemuseum archeologist Charles Orser, who presents his work in Ballykilcline,County Roscommon, as a case study in the new book. Here is a link to apublisher’s blurb about the book, which features its Table of Contents: http://corkuniversitypress.typepad.com/cork_university_press/2011/02/cork-university-press-signs-contract-for-book-on-the-great-irish-famine-.html No matter where your Irish family came from in the Old Country, this book likely will have something for you because of the breadth of its coverage of and perspectives on the Famine and its issues. The book is not inexpensive but perhaps TIGS would buy a copy for members to consult or borrow. It is listed on Amazon for pre-ordering.
