RASCAL is an electronic gateway to research resources in Ireland. You can use this web-site to search and browse information about the wide range of research and special collections held in libraries, museums and archives across the region. The Directory consists of comprehensive descriptions of collections available to researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences recording details of content, location, format, and access. Links to institutions' on-line catalogues and other digital resources are provided where appropriate.

The first 100 tunes from the archive's first publication 'Tunes of the Munster Pipers: Irish Traditional Music from the James Goodman Manuscripts', edited by the late Dr Hugh Shields & published in 1998 are now available as interactive scores.
