In response to various requests, especially from our recent 2005 Brigit celebrations, IFR has compiled, (with help from various Old Irish and Celtic lists) the following set of links to help those wishing to search Irish mythology, manuscripts, and language. All the sites mentioned here are reputable academic sources. The last one describes herself as “amateur” but contains some good material. Feel free to share this list with interested others.
