(Ireland) Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland

June 2021, the IAJGS Records Access Alert reported about the Beyond 2022 Creating the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland. This was to reestablish the destroyed records resulting from the Civil War when the Public Records Office was destroyed. . The ‘Record Treasury’ at the Public Record Office of Ireland stored seven centuries of Irish records dating back to the time of the Normans. At the time of last year’s posting, it was noted that in the centenary of the Four Courts blaze next year (30 June 2022), they will launch the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland online. They did it!

 

The newly launched Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland, https://virtualtreasury.ie/ is freely accessible an open-access resource available online to all those interested in Ireland’s deep history at home and abroad.  It now has 50 million words of searchable text spanning seven centuries, 2.7 million knowledge graph triples, 150,000+ database record and over 6,000 maps.


This achievement was done with the support of 70 archival partners.


You can browse the treasury, and the growing collection of digitized materials from archives across Ireland and around the world.  See: https://virtualtreasury.ie/browse.

Headlines of Old


Trove Tuesday 5th Jul 2022  Missing Friends, over a few states, various years, some from Police Gazettes, others from newspaper ads… I wonder if any of these ‘came home’… In some postings found in TROVE, there are additions noting that people were reunited.. both in newspapers and Government Gazettes. 

If you have a ‘lost ancestor’, it could be worth looking through those notifications.

Feel free to share, the title is the link…
