The History Review
The School of History and Archives (Scoil na Staire agus na Cartlannaíochta) at University College Dublin is one of the major centres in Ireland for the study of history.
It was founded in 2005 by combining the School of History, which had been present since the foundation of the University in 1854, with the Archives department which had been in existence since 1971.
One of department's most important figures was Eoin MacNeill, who held the Professorship of Early Irish (including medieval) history from 1909 to 1916 and from 1918 to 1942. MacNeill was also one of the leading figures in shaping the new Irish state, serving as Minister for Education between 1922 and 1925.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or review:
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
