About company
The Irish Archives Resource (IAR) is an online database that contains searchable archival descriptions held in Irish Archive Services. The purpose of the IAR Portal is to allow users to locate archives and records that are relevant to their research; increase the use of archives by directing researchers to the relevant Archives Services, and encourage the development and publication of comprehensive, standardized archive descriptions. Users can search for descriptions based on different criteria, including year, geographical area, collection type, Archive Service, and reference number. The Irish Archives Resource is a voluntary group supported by the Archives and Records Association, Ireland and the School of History and Archives, University College Dublin. It is an all-Ireland portal funded by The Heritage Council; the Department of Arts; Heritage and the Gaeltacht; and the Department of Culture, Arts, and Leisure.
