Extract

The Royal Irish Academy, founded in the year 1785, is Ireland's leading learned society. Since its foundation it has contributed greatly to Irish scholarship and culture through a wide range of activities, including the publication of work in many fields of human endeavour. These activities are probably well known, but the fact that the Academy organised a number of valuable marine explorations in the last two decades of last century is less well known.
