Dictionary of Irish Biography: Ireland's story told through nearly 11,000 lives

As Ireland’s national biographical dictionary, the Dictionary of Irish Biography (DIB) is an authoritative reference work containing almost 11,000 lives, for anyone interested in Irish history, society and culture. When initially launched in 2009, Seamus Heaney greeted its publication as ‘an epoch-making event in the history of Irish scholarship. It changes the state of knowledge in the twenty-first century as decidedly as the Ordnance Survey did in the nineteenth.’

Hosted by the Royal Irish Academy as an open access repository, the DIB is freely available to the public (www.dib.ie).
