Eneclann releases CD-rom of Sinn Féin Rebellion Handbook on 24 April, Anniversary of the Easte

April 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Eneclann (www.eneclann.ie), the Dublin-based history and heritage company, has released a digital version of the Sinn Féin Rebellion Handbook which details the events surrounding the Easter Rising 1916.

The Rebellion Handbook was published by the Irish Times in 1917, and is based on articles carried in the Irish Times in May 1916.  ‘The handbook provides a fascinating insight into the Easter rising,’ explains Eneclann’s Publications Manager, Paul Manzor.  ‘It is one of the key sources and contains a wealth of information, including an official list of casualties, names of prisoners, photographs and a map showing the key locations in Dublin.’

There is a huge interest in Ireland’s revolutionary period (1912-1922) as the centenary approaches, and Eneclann has more initiatives planned for the future.  ‘We are currently developing an online resource for the study of this period in partnership with the National Archives in Kew, England,’ explains CEO Brian Donovan.  ‘We recently published the Dublin Castle intelligence files on individual Sinn Fein and Republican suspects between 1899 and 1921, which has proved one of our most successful publications.’

The CD-Roms of the Sinn Féin Rebellion Handbook (EUR 19.90) and the Sinn Féin and Republican Suspects 1899-1921 (EUR 50.11) are both available to purchase from Eneclann’s online shop at www.eneclann.ie/shop.
