| == Inventories, Registers, Catalogs ==
| |
|
| |
| Many archives have inventories, registers, catalogs, guides, directories, or periodicals that describe the archive's records and how to use them. If possible, study these guides before visiting an archive so that you can use your time there more effectively.
| |
|
| |
| Some indexes to holdings in Irish archives are:
| |
|
| |
| Hayes, Richard J. [[Hayes Manuscript and Periodical Sources for Irish Research|''Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation'']]. 11 vols. Boston, Massachusetts: G. K. Hall & Co., 1965. (Family History Library {{FHL|43679|title-id|disp=book Ref Q 941.5 A5h; film 1,440,939-43}}.)

|
| |
| These volumes index manuscripts, periodicals, and major collections of Irish interest deposited at the National Library before 1975. They also index many records in other repositories, public and private, in Ireland, Britain, and elsewhere. The indexes are arranged by person, subject, place, date, and manuscript. Throughout the rest of this article, these volumes will be referred to as Hayes's Sources.
| |
|
| |
| A growing microfiche collection of guides and finding aids (including many unpublished finding aids) for various Irish archives, libraries, and museums is:
| |
|
| |
| ''National Inventory of Documentary Sources in the United Kingdom and Ireland.'' Cambridge, England: Chadwyck-Healey, 1986-87. This inventory gives a description and the exact reference numbers of the collections in many repositories throughout Ireland. The inventory can thus help in locating documents that pertain to your research. The Family History Library's copy of the inventory is listed in the Author/Title Search of the microfiche catalog under NATIONAL INVENTORY OF DOCUMENTARY SOURCES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND IRELAND.
| |
|
| |
| A name and subject index to the National Inventory is on microfiche (London, England: Chadwyck-Healey, 1995-; Family History Library fiche {{FHL|44280|title-id|disp=6341118}}). This index includes a list of finding aids and an alphabetical list of repositories.
| |
|
| |
| Additional archive and library inventories, guides, catalogs, and other finding aids available at the Family History Library are listed in the Place Search of the catalog under the following headings:
