Description
Written to mark the 80th anniverary of the foundation of the Irish Manuscripts Commission, this book records the history of the IMC itself as its role in preserving sources for Irish history has evolved since 1928. Having published over 160 editions of historical documents and 41 issues of its serial publication (Analecta Hibernica) to date, the IMC continues to promote the development of history as a discipline in Ireland and it supports a wide range of initiatives to improve public awareness of the importance of historical sources and of the need to preserve those sources.
