The Friends  of the Zürich James Joyce Foundation

Goal

The Friends were established in 1987 to support the Zurich James Joyce Foundation morally, as well as financially through the members' annual subscriptions. The members (at present more than two hundred) are regularly informed of all activities, book donations and acquisitions, and are invited to the Foundation's events.

The Friends' Lecture Series

The Friends have also established and support the Zurich James Joyce Lecture Series.

Dublin Pilgrimages

If enough participants can be enlisted, the Friends go on a so-called Dublin Pilgrimage, usually over a weekend in spring, featuring a visit to the Joyce Tower in Sandycove, a Ulysses walk through town, James Joyce Cultural Centre, etc. In its time, the trip has touched on Clongowes Wood, Belvedere College, Guinness Brewery, The Dublin Metropolitan Police Museum, the sources of the Liffey, Glendalough and various museums. In 1994, a similar journey took some of the Friends to Trieste.
