Short Articles <= click here:
The Society has published on this website a selection of short articles on local historical topics. This is not a comprehensive history - but rather an easy introduction for those who like an occasional light read. We hope to add to this collection and to add references to more in-depth studies on some topics. Some of these essays may be compiled into papers from time to time.

The Society's first paper publication was a collection of Skerries folklore and folk-ways. It used some material from the SHS paper archive as a source. It also included a number of stories from those collected by local National School children during 1937-38, and now stored in the National Folklore Collection at University College, Dublin. Copies are also available at Dun Laoghaire Public Library.
