The database includes a whole range of publications, such as novels, articles, poems, memoirs, travel writing, essays, cookery writing, plays, films, etc. The database also provides biographical details, where available, such as birth dates, date of death, place of birth and death, places associated with a particular author, together with all known pseudonyms. Every known edition of a book, play, or film is listed, along with details of printers and publishers for each work. The project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, was led by Professor Maria Luddy of the University of Warwick and Professor Gerardine Meaney of University College Dublin and the database has been designed by Robert O'Toole of Elab, University of Warwick.
