Applications are now invited to the RIA Eoin O’Mahoney Bursary in Irish History, 2014.
The bursary fund, which was established in memory of the genealogist and newspaper columnist Eoin O’Mahoney, is open to candidates engaged in historical research on subjects of Irish interest by providing a grant to support the direct costs of consulting sources which are not available in Ireland. Preference will be given to family history projects, particularly those associated with the ‘Wild Geese’.
Applicants need not be University graduates, but must satisfy the assessment panel that their research is likely to constitute a significant and original scholarly contribution to historical knowledge. Special consideration will be given to those who have been active in local learned and historical societies.
Deadline for receipt of applications: Wednesday 23rd October 2013
