The object of the society as stated in the editorial of the first issue of Béaloideas, which appeared in June 1927, was to collect, preserve and publish the folklore of Ireland.
The Society’s journal, Béaloideas, which first appeared in 1927, now numbers over eighty volumes and can be accessed online at www.jstor.org.
Over the years the Society also produced other publications including A Handbook of Irish Folklore (1942) by Seán Ó Súilleabháin.
The Society also organises an annual series of public lectures on various aspects of folk tradition. Members of the Society are entitled to attend the lectures and to receive a copy of Béaloideas. Some back-issues of Béaloideas are available to purchase. If interested please contact the society
