I have developed a wide variety of online and Digital Humanities projects. Here are just a few of them:
Irish History OnlineIrish History Online (IHO) is a bibliographic catalogue comprised of publications written about Irish history from earliest times to the present.

Sources for Irish Women’s HistoryFrom October 1997 to June 1999 the Women’s History Project undertook a survey of a large number of public and private repositories in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland for collections or information relating to the history of women in Ireland from the earliest of times to the 1990s. This website, Sources for Irish Women’s History, is an updated version of that original survey. The update has resulted in this website which contains 20,790 records and 2,413 collections from 221 repositories around the country. |

Historical Corpus of Irish 1600 - 1926The Historical Corpus of Irish 1600 - 1926 (http://corpus.ria.ie) makes 19 million words of Irish, from over 3000 printed texts, freely available to read and search. Search for a headword (lemma), for a standardised version, or for an exact match of your search term. Results are displayed in context along with historical variations charting the word's evolution. In addition, results can be viewed in their original text which can be downloaded in a variety of useful formats, such as TEI, ebooks, etc.. Website: http://corpas.ria.ie |

DAP ProjectThis project involved the digitisation of over 2,500 sound and video carriers from CDs, DAT tapes, vinyl, reel-to-reels, and other formats, for the Irish Traditional Music Archive. This resulted in the generation of more than 24,000 audio and video files. These files and their associated metadata (extracted from a variety of sources), were formatted according to EAD, ISAD(G) and other accepted standards and packaged as SIP and AIP files for archiving in a trusted digital repository. The data was then further processed for an AtoM instance. Project managing the IT aspects of the project, I developed a range of tools to facilitate a workflow that covered the entire lifecycle of the digital audio file from its creation to its ingest into the trusted digital repository and beyond.
