Acceptable Use Policy

The Irish Language and Literature collection in the Hesburgh Library consists of works in the Irish language (Gaeilge), as well as books and journals on Celtic Studies, Irish language and linguistics, and works relating to Irish language literature. The collection is particularly strong in twentieth-century Irish writing. There are growing collections in earlier works, and in Irish folklore. The strong Irish music collection, closely related, includes many Irish language texts. Few electronic databases are devoted to the Irish language, but some include Irish language and literature, and are included in the lists below. Books on Irish language and literature (PB 1201-1449) are located within the broader Celtic languages range (PB 1001-3029) on the 9th floor, Hesburgh Library.
