The Irish American Cultural Institute is now accepting applications
from research individuals to investigate the Irish experience in America.
The Institute welcomes applications from all disciplines. Primary re-
search is the focus of this program. Projects such as museum exhibi-
tions, oral history collections, and the compilation of bibliographies and
other research tools are also eligible to apply for these funds.
The Irish Research Fund of the IACI represents the conviction of con-
cerned individuals and organizations that the Irish contribution to
America-often undocumented-deserves serious scholarly exploration.
Applications are accepted from any state. In the event that two applica-
tions weigh evenly, consideration will be given to research which focuses
on a matter from the region of the fund's origin. The prime considera-
tions are the significance of the matter proposed and the capability of
the researcher to pursue it. Original research and possibly assistance for
travel or publication costs can be funded up to a maximum of $5,000.
For an application, write to the Irish Research Fund, Irish American
Cultural Institute, 1 Lackawanna Place, Morristown, NJ 07960, or call
973/605-1991. Applications must be received by October 1, 1998. E-
mail irishwaynj@aol.com.

mental history, take a stroll through the new exhibit at the Austin Histo-
