Mallow Archaeological & Historical Society

Another year - another Journal. We try to have a variety of articles that will interest our many different readers. The continuing support for our Journal is a great encouragement to us, and we wish to thank all who have contributed articles and photographs.

It may be of interest to know that our Journal has found its way on to the internet, courtesy of Mr. Dennis J. Ahern of Acton, Massachusetts, U.S.A. This web-site has the contents page and foreword of each Journal and lists the back numbers currently available. For those with access to the internet the address is: "http://world.std.com/~ahern/mahs.html."

This year is the 150th anniversary of "Black '47" and in this issue we have a number of articles dealing with the effects of the great famine on the people of North Cork.

As usual we are seeking further material, and would welcome comments from our readers on the Journal.
