Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland

The SMI is closely associated, through the involvement of its members, with the Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland. Under the General Editorship of Professor Barra Boydell (NUI Maynooth) and Professor Harry White (University College Dublin and former President of the SMI), the Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland is the most comprehensive publication on music ever to have been undertaken in Ireland.

Based at NUI Maynooth and scheduled for publication by UCD Press in 2009, it has received support from Atlantic Philanthropies and from the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland will include over 2500 articles embracing a wide range of thematic and subject topics and reflecting Ireland's musical culture in all its breadth and depth both in the past and today.

Work is in progress on the Encyclopaedia, for which the Subject Editors are Prof. Barra Boydell, Dr Ann Buckley, Dr Gareth Cox, Prof. Gerard Gillen, Dr Kerry Houston, Dr Axel Klein, Dr Mel Mercier, Maebh NiFhuarthain, Dr Joseph Ryan and Dr Adrian Scahill.
