• Constructed from standard reference books on Irish History, this site offers an interesting chronology of Ireland from 1600 to 2000. Rather than focus solely on major political or economic events, the chronology attempts to strike a balance between major and mundane events, providing a (politically neutral) 'people-centred' timeline of 400 years. http://homepage.eircom.net/~chronology/ • The most informative website is that of the University of Texas, which has links to practically all Irish historical resources: http://wwwvms.utexas.edu/~jdana/irehist.html • Another comprehensive guide to Irish history is provided by World History Compass at: http://www.worldhistorycompass.com/europe3.htm#Ireland • A Timeline of Irish History provides a chronology of Ireland down to 1998 at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/history/ • Ulster History Timeline (down to 1992): http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/martin_sloan/hist01.htm • Online information about various aspects of Irish history (1916 Easter Rising, etc) is available on the web at: http://users.bigpond.com/kirwilli/history/history.htm • The Information about Ireland Site provides a lot of reference information and free history reports (The Irish Famine, The 1798 Rebellion, The Easter Rising): http://www.ireland-information.com • Short biographies of Irish soldiers and statesmen: http://users.bigpond.com/kirwilli/famous/statesmen.htm • Local Ireland has a lot of information
