About A Guide to Irish Culture
Fáilte Willkommen Bienvenue Välkommen Bienvenido Welkom Saluti Welcome

A Guide to Irish Culture is intended as an index to Irish cultural subject matter, rather than as a directory of Irish websites. Links will bring you to a history of the monasteries, how to make a bodhrán, concise biographies of Irish writers, Irish lighthouses, church organs in Ireland, and so on.

A Guide to Irish Culture was formerly known as Cyclopedia Ireland.

The authors have put a lot of work into their sites, so once you’ve found what you’re looking for, do explore further if you’ve time.

A Guide to Irish Culture is compiled in his spare time by writer Philip Casey, who welcomes notification of broken links.

Philip Casey first thought of A Guide to Irish Culture (formerly known as Cyclopedia Ireland) in 1996. The concept was based on the belief that everyone is an expert on something, and that the ideal platform to publish that knowledge or expertise is on the web. There are now also many fine sites written by specialists, which has added to the pool of knowledge originally created by enthusiasts.

Enjoy your stay.
