Thanks, Daniel! BTW, as I noted here, they are scheduled to republish Patrick Adair's A True Narrative of the Rise and Progress of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (1886) later this month.

Right that is good, its a pity someone would not republish Thomas Witherow's two-volume Historical and Literary Memorials of Presbyterianism in Ireland. You can read a bit of it at this link: Presbyterianism in Ireland

BTW, volume 2 of that work is available online as I noted in this thread about Thomas Witherow.

Incidentally, there is a Presbyterian Historical Society here in the USA too.

Its a great book. Dr. Andrew Holmes (a lecturer in Presbyterian History at Queen's University Belfast) would use it as one of his primary books for teaching some of his courses. You get loads of great information in a really short space, and its really easy to read.

Here is Andrew Holmes' biography (though he now has a beard which makes him look older): Queen's University Belfast | Dr Andrew Holmes

The official release date for Adair's book has been pushed back to March 19, 2008.

There is also the PCA Historical Center. It is billed as the "Archives & Manuscript Repository for the Continuing Presbyterian Church," thus they have a lot of material related to Presbyterianism in general, not just the PCA or its predecessors.

That is not too much longer to wait.

Cool! We're planning a trip to Scotland next year to attend our pastor's graduation (dependent upon his completion of his dissertation!) and will hopefully be going over to Belfast to meet his parents. The museum will be a great stop while we're there!

Check the opening times in advance just to be on the safe side.
