INNATE has also some  off line resources available on nonviolence, peace and related subjects (organising/campaigning, group dynamics, etc). These are mainly printed materials but include some other items. As INNATE is a networking organisation with no office and no paid staff it can happen that you may be faster (!) getting resources from elsewhere if they are easily accessible there (as might be the case with materials on community relations or mediation, for example). However we do our best to respond to queries (and if at first you don’t get a response, try, try again). Being as specific as possible helps your chances.

Some materials previously held have been passed on elsewhere, e.g. to university libraries, and some old files on peace groups to PRONI/Public Record Office for Norther Ireland.

Materials currently held include:

  • Alternative and civilian based defence
  • Arms, arms trade
  • Christian & spiritual bases of peacemaking & nonviolence
  • Conflict, various
  • Consensus
  • Dawn and Dawn Train magazines (1974-92)
  • Feminism, women and nonviolence
  • Forgiveness & reconciliation
  • Irish neutrality
  • Mediation
  • Nonviolence – many different aspects including nonviolence in Irish history
  • Nonviolent News (1990 to date)
  • Monitoring / Observing
  • Some specific peace groups/organisations, materials from, e.g. Peace People (most has gnone to PRONI)
  • Training manuals/resources on nonviolence
  • Violence and nonviolence
