Connecting People With Their Irish Roots

New Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Archives Collections now available online

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are delighted to have the collections of the La Touche Family, Joseph McGrath and Thomas Cullen digitised and published in the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI), an online archive for the preservation of Irish cultural heritage. These collections were discovered in Marlay and Cabinteely houses, and represent two different, extraordinary eras of Irish life.

While the archival collections are catalogued and viewable in person in Dún Laoghaire, having them digitised and available on the DRI means that these valuable historic collections can reach a much wider audience. Researchers who might not have the means or time to travel to Dún Laoghaire can now access the collections instantly, wherever they may be. The council hope that the availability of these papers facilitates further research into the influence of these families in Irish history as well as important men involved in the creation of our young State.

These collections are part of the Dún Laoghaire‑Rathdown County Council’s Archives. More information on the DLR Archives service on their website
