Archive Material
As well as the manuscripts series, now closed, the Genealogical Office also has extremely extensive archive records of the commissioned research it carried out up to the 1980s. For the closing decades of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century, these records are still largely concerned with the Anglo Irish. Manuscripts 800 - 822 cover perhaps 5% of this material.
The remainder is sorted in roughly alphabetical order in cardboard boxes along one whole wall of the Genealogical Office strong room. It is to be hoped that the Office can acquire the resources to sort and index it soon, since it contains a great deal of very valuable information.
After the creation of The Genealogical Office in 1943, the focus of the commissioned research shifted, with most work now carried out on behalf of the descendants of emigrants to Australia and North America. There are over 20,000 research files giving details of the results of this research. A continuing project to index the families concerned has so far covered over 6,000 of these; the results are on computer at the Office.
