The IGRS library

The Library of the Irish Genealogical Research Society is internationally recognised as the most important collection of Irish genealogical materials in private hands. For an overview of what it contains, see Library Holdings in the Unique Resources menu.

Members are no longer able to access our valuable books or manuscripts in person, however the material is now stored in such a way that members may request searches. Books are in long-term store but in some cases may be retrieved (for a fee). Manuscripts can be searched if its clear we have the material desired. The request will be assessed and in some cases can be scanned to be emailed to members.

In all cases please email librarian@irishancestors.ie
