Tracing your London Ancestors — NOT Cheap-Cheap
We are all too familiar how some libraries and archives lost their treasures to disasters: fires, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.
As part of Ireland’s Civil War, on June 30th, 1922 the Public Records Office of Ireland 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. An international group of institutions are working to recover what was lost.
On the centenary of the Four Courts blaze next year (30 June 2022), they will launch the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland online. Many millions of words from destroyed documents will be linked and reassembled from copies, transcripts and other records scattered among the collections of their archival partners. They will bring together this rich array of replacement items within an immersive 3-D reconstruction of the destroyed building.
The Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland will be an open-access resource, freely available online to all those interested in Irish history at home and abroad. Many of the most important memory institutions worldwide are joining them in this share.
