[Sources: a National Library of Ireland database for Irish Research](http://sources.nli.ie),
>will allow anyone anywhere to search across 196,574 records for Irish manuscript and periodical material, covering subjects which range from art, architecture and archaeology, through economics and genealogy to history, politics, literature, science and zoology.
Providing online access to Hayes’s *manuscript* and *periodical sources*, the launch of [Sources](http://sources.nli.ie) means that
>someone doing research on their local area might find information about manuscript maps, estate papers, and business records for local shopkeepers, as well as details for articles in local history journals, with just the click of a mouse. Once the records are found, the information can be easily
cited, emailed or shared to bookmarking and social networking sites like Delicious or Twitter.
