Tailte Éireann, a new state agency archive comprises the records of the Registry of Deed (est. 1707), Ordnance Survey (est. 1824), Valuation Office (est. 1830), Land Registry (est. 1892), and the Property Registration Authority ( est. 2006).

Definitely one of the most unique items in Special Collections and Archives is this Irish Manuscript bound in Seal Skin! This item is from the Torna Collection, and one of the scribes has been identified as Jerry Daly from Rosscarbery. #EYAUnique #EYA2023 #ExploreYourArchive
