The
National Archives were badly damaged around the time of independance
in 1922, for reasons which are hotly debated even today. When
researching in the national archives, make sure to follow the
proper protocols, and declare your intent to use any electronic
equipment beforehand. Photocopying is frowned upon, unless you
make prior arrangements, and you should even leave your walkman
& cellphone outside..!! The archives are also to be considered
copyrighted, and cannot be published without permission. And
Remember kids, don't colour in the pictures. :)
The archives are spread over a number of locations in Dublin,
including the reading rooms at Bishop Street, the Four Courts,
Dublin Castle, and this goes for census-type archives, as well
as general government archives. Military Archives are kept at
Cathal Brigha Barracks in Rathmines, Dublin, although I wouldn't
go there in a trenchcoat and dark glasses.
In
fact, if the National Archives were a niteclub... uh... never
mind.

Note for Australians: The Irish government gave microfilm/microfiche
versions of these archives to the Australian government in 1988,
so you may be able to search them there.

Cobh
formerly known as Queenstown ( Located about 7 miles
from Cork City )
|
|
Cobh
was the single largest point of emigration or deportation to the
USA, and Australia. Cobh has built a heritage centre, reliving
it's history in exhibition, from the pain of emigration, the famous
disasters like the Titanic which sailed from there on it's
fateful voyage. Victims of the WWI Lusitania ship which was torpedoed
in 1915, off the coast of County Cork, were buried here as well.
