Get In Touch

I’d like to know what you think about the site - and what you believe I can do to make it better

There’s an obvious lack of information from the turn of the last century onwards, Shaw, Wilde, Yeats, Beckett, Easter Rising, Civil War, War of Independence, etc. I’m adding information as it becomes available - this can be difficult as copyright is now 70 years after the death of the author.

If you have material which would be suitable for inclusion, I’d be happy to hear from you.

Let me know your opinions, corrections (I don’t mind at all - after all, not all of the mistakes are mine!), additions, etc. - I will reply.

About Chapters of Dublin

Chapters of Dublin is a library of books, memoirs and other texts on the history of Dublin, reproduced in full or in part from editions that are now in the public domain. Many of the works are long out of print. Every chapter on the site can be browsed from the chapters page, and each book has its own contents list, for example The Story of Dublin by D.A. Chart, A History of the City of Dublin by J.T. Gilbert and Accounts of the Easter Rising.

How you can help

Readers have contributed material to the site over the years, and further contributions are welcome. Material that is especially useful includes:

• Out-of-copyright books and articles about Dublin, its streets, buildings, people and events, whether a whole book or a single chapter.
• Photographs, prints and maps of the city and county, where the copyright has expired or you own the rights and are happy for them to be published.
• Corrections to dates, names or transcription errors in the existing texts.
• Additions, such as notes on sources or further chapters from books already on the site.

Before sending material, please check its copyright status. In Ireland, as in the rest of the European Union, copyright in a literary work generally lasts for 70 years after the death of the author, so a book can generally be reproduced here only once that period has passed. This limits how much twentieth-century writing can be included, and it is why out-of-copyright material from that period is particularly welcome.
