The programme was created in response to the Covid-19 pandemic to help people unable to visit their usual repositories, and allows students and researchers to access up to 100 articles or items a month without institutional affiliation.

This generous offer allows you to access hundreds of research articles on Irish genealogy and history, many of them published in journals, magazines, and books that may be difficult to locate. You have to register - a painless process - and then you can start searching for material of interest.

To tempt you to explore, see the list below which provides just a tiny selection of material offered in a wide search for 'Irish genealogy'.
