Register of current humanities research infrastructure in Ireland

Register of current humanities research infrastructure in Ireland

Please submit one response for each infrastructure resource.
The Irish Humanities Alliance (IHA) is undertaking a national inventory of humanities research infrastructure currently available in Ireland. The aim is to establish a clearer picture of existing resources, identify infrastructure that requires protection or sustained investment, and highlight gaps in provision that may be addressed through future funding, collaboration or the development of shared services. We invite colleagues across higher education institutions, research organisations, libraries, archives, museums and other relevant organisations to submit information about humanities research infrastructure. For the purposes of this survey, infrastructure may include physical and digital research facilities, research datasets, digital repositories, technical resources, research platforms and shared services that support humanities research. Deadline for submissions: Monday, 30 November 2026.
