Bibliography
The IUSS primary and secondary database provides an index of sources for the study and research of Ulster Scots history, culture, identity and community. Since its inception in 2001, the IUSS has been actively researching and examining the development and different manifestations of the Ulster Scots community both nationally and internationally. Through this work, the IUSS have identified the need to provide access to an index of primary and secondary sources to assist researchers and Ulster Scots enthusiasts alike.
The following database provides the basis for continuing research on the Ulster Scots by listing essential sources relating to the Ulster, Scotland, Ireland and International dimensions of the development of the Ulster Scots. For this reason it is focused primarily on the historical and contextual aspects of the development of Ulster Scots and what circumstances and environment shaped this distinctive cultural and social entity. However the research team have also added links to sources and databases covering politics, social sciences and literature which will demonstrate the development and growth of the Ulster Scots community in a contemporary sense. The database is therefore aimed as a starting point for researchers, providing access to an index of important primary sources, links to migration databases and periodicals along with a comprehensive list of web resources for websites, which contain access to many online digitised sources.
