Abstract
On the last day of 1930, James F. Kenney (author of the famous Sources for the Early History of Ireland) issued a clarion call to scholars in America to take up the study of early Irish history, and presented an agenda of projects that he thought would be most appropriate to them. This talk examines the background to that lecture and surveys how the work done since then has answered Kenney’s call.
