The Irish & America virtual Reading Room launches with 42 e-books on subscription

Many thanks to Brian Mitchell MAGI, who manages the Derry Genealogy Centre, for alerting me to the revamped website of the Genealogical Publishing Company of Baltimore.

https://genealogical.com/shelf/irish-monthlyThe company has launched a new feature where researchers can subscribe to a selection of themed virtual Reading Rooms. One of these Reading Rooms is The Irish and America Collection. It holds 42 e-books, including eight titles (see below) authored by Brian Mitchell, Tracing your Irish Ancestors, by John Grenham, Finding Your Irish Ancestors in New York City, by Joe Buggy, and a wide range of other publications that Irish-American and Irish-Canadian researchers, in particular, are likely to find helpful to their family history.

to The Irish and America Reading Room cost US$10 per month or US$100 per year. A subscription allows you to search, view, copy and print from the digital publications.
