Message from Claire Healy, SILAS President
Bemvindo, bienvenido, fáilte romhat and welcome to the
website of the Society for Irish Latin American Studies (SILAS).
We hope you have a fascinating journey through the pages of this
site, which provide access to information, digital archives,
biographies, images, events and state-of-the-art research on
historical and contemporary connections between Ireland and
Latin America. Here you can access our journal,
Irish Migration Studies in Latin America,
featuring the latest research in the field.
Our network of people interested in Ireland and Latin America is
growing and we invite you to join us by becoming a member of the Society. This provides exclusive
access to databases and support for our various programmes,
including publications, grants, conferences, archiving projects
and networking. We welcome a diverse group of members, in terms
of interests, professional backgrounds and nationalities.
Following on from our successful third SILAS Conference "Secrets
and Lies", which was held at Dublin City University on 11-12
March 2011, our fourth conference will be held in Argentina in
2013. Details of the conference will be announced in due course.
Your explorations of Ireland and Latin America begin here. We
hope it is an enjoyable and fruitful experience. Please feel
free to contact us if you have any
queries, comments or suggestions.

Sincerely,
