A Commemoration of the Great Famine (Ireland 1845)




This fascinating site examines the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s that starved over a million to death in Ireland alone. Although the site could use a facelift, its plain, unappealing look hides a rich harvest of information about the famine. You'll find historical essays, scientific research on the potato blight, songs, poems, and even recipes. There is also a page called potato facts, plus links to Irish cultural festivals and Web sites.
