=== Religious Archives === | |||
Religious archives contain records of a particular denomination. Several Irish religious archives and their addresses are listed in [[Ireland Church Records]]. | |||
=== Heritage or Genealogical Centers === | |||
Local heritage centers, sometimes called genealogical centers, are working with community, government and private bodies to index records of genealogical value and to create and maintain a database of those records for their county. These centers are indexing church records, the Tithe Applotment books, Griffith's Primary Valuation, the 1901 census, and gravestone inscriptions. | |||
Most centers and their records are not open to the public. Center staff, however, will search their indexes and supply information for a fee. For more information about the heritage centers, see: | |||
*The website of the Irish Historical Foundation at [http://www.rootsireland.ie www.rootsireland.ie] Provides online access to the centers' indexed records and gives contact information and other details. | |||
=== Other Archives === | |||
Other archives also contain information of genealogical value. Three such archives are described below. Others are discussed in the books listed under General Guides below. | |||
