              An extensive card catalogue compiled by Tim Robinson throughout the 1980s and 1990s, drawn from his field notes. The series has been arranged by Robinson into civil parishes, and further divided into townlands. For most of the townlands, there are several record cards that give a detailed description of the local landscape. These describe historical, ecclesiastical, geological, and archaeological features. Anecdotes and local lore also feature in these. Robinson adds the names of people who helped him compile his information, usually local people, and often correspondents who sent him information helping him identify the origins of placenames, or certain landmarks and artefacts.

              The cards also credit several secondary sources, including the OS maps and corresponding Field Name Books, Hardiman's History of Galway, Alexander Nimmo's map of the bogs in the West of Ireland, and many more.

              In all cases in this series, the placename Tim Robinson used as his title appears as the title here. Many are in Irish, and some are in English. The corresponding translation is provided in the description.

              Manuscript material on the creation and publication of 'Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage'. Early drafts show 'Stones of Aran' was originally intended as one book, to include a 'Preface' establishing the solitary and social sides, 'Itinerary' to cover the two coasts, 'Labyrinth' to cover the fields and paths, and a personal 'Postscript'. These drafts show the evolution of the idea, with 'Itinerary' becoming 'Pilgrimage', and the expansion of the project to become two 'Stones of Aran' books, 'Pilgrimage' published in 1986, and 'Labyrinth' published in 1995.
