Mannagh vow cliaghtey cliaghtey, nee cliaghtey coe *

These web pages reflect my various interests, mainly archival, in things Manx.
A search page and a subject index page is available, as is a master list of biographies; a house style page will explain common features and a legal page covers a few points.

For regular visitors a New Arrivals page gives direct access to recently added material.

A fully searchable CD-ROM version of these pages together with much additional material is available for £8 or $20 (inc P&P).

As of Jan 2020 there are some 20,000 files comprising over 250 MBytes, mostly of 19th Century material cross-linked both within the pages and by various short essay pages.

Frame-based pages are available for most sections (click ) but are not needed as non-frame based pages will give full access to all text. No Java or Java Script is currently used on these pages
