| This important reference volume introduces readers and researchers to the
treasury of printed and manuscript resources available in Irish libraries,
archives and genealogical centres. Although it is aimed principally at the Irish
Diaspora - amounting to some 70 million people around the globe who can trace
their ancestry back to Ireland - Irish and non-Irish researchers alike should
find the book of inestimable value for their research anywhere in Ireland.
Completely updated and revised, this latest edition will acquaint the user with the valuable and accessible collections in
Irish repositories. Essential information on operating hours, contact
information - including names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, email and
website addresses - access and service information, descriptions, and the
location of these repositories will prove to be immensely practical.
A number of features enhance the practical value of the book as an
indispensable work of reference. The entries are arranged alphabetically by city
or town within county, and a separate list, arranged alphabetically by type of
institution, is provided for added convenience. There are lists of publications,
a detailed glossary and bibliography, and an extensive index. For family and
local history researchers, a brief history and description of the Irish
Genealogical Project is provided, along with a helpful introduction to tracing
your ancestors.
Of special interest are the vital reference details for each parish in
Ireland for the crucially important tithe and valuable records from c1830 in the
record offices in Belfast and Dublin.
The Guide also provides information of practical benefit to many other
interested parties: academic researchers, professionals in the area of business,
education, marketing, medicine, law and technology, as well as vacationers
interested in learning about local resources available to them during their stay
in Ireland. Contents:
