# Chapters of Dublin

> A comprehensive collection of historical texts about Dublin, Ireland. The site contains 969 chapters covering Dublin's history, streets, neighbourhoods, notable figures, literature, and cultural institutions — many recovered from the Wayback Machine and originally published in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The site was created by Ken Finlay and focuses on out-of-copyright historical works about Dublin. Content spans from medieval Dublin through the early 20th century, with gaps in the 1900s due to copyright restrictions (70 years post-author death).
