Index to Vols. 1 - 29


The Kerry Archaeological Magazine, the organ of the Kerry Archaeological Association, which had been founded in October 1907, was first published in October 1908 and came out twice yearly until April 1918 and then annually for two years, the final issue (Vol. 5, No.22) being July 1920.....

As the Magazine can be quite difficult to obtain, apart from in the libraries in the county, and then for consultation only, the Council felt that the members of the Society might find value in the reprinting some of its articles. Knowing that the Index to Nos. 1-29 of the Society's Journal was to be published as an independent volume,Volume 30, to add 'value' to this issue in which it was to be contained, it was decided to take the opportunity to publish some of these earlier articles in that volume.
