There are collections almost impossible to find. In 2004 I connected a website client to a publishing client so the publisher could move his collection of County Something histories online. The publisher insisted on a title such as "On Wings of Cwdynkfluegles." Good luck ever finding that one.
At least it wasn't Welsh. My only visit to Wales was on the day of the voting about whether to have a Welsh parliament, and the only thing on television was election returns. In Welsh. I vaguely remember crying myself to sleep.
I think Irish is even more difficult than Welsh. I cancelled 2 trips to Donegal in 2020. Co Donegal has the most Irish speakers. It is beautiful but dwindling.

That's awesome - I'd love to know how they managed it.

This is an amazing project. I wonder whether any other country is trying to do any historical project as ambitious as this.
I hope they provide a lot of documentation about how they did it. It truly is formidable.
This is incredible!
It certainly is...Ireland is really gearing up for the centenary.
