Looking forward to this @IrelandMapped @NIFHS event on Monday. There's a wealth of information in the OS archive that's useful to those researching family history and place studies! Great to see one of our latest visualisations being used in promotional materials too 👇

2024 marks 200 years of the Ordnance Survey in Ireland. On Monday @CatSPorter will talk about the #OS200 project which is digitally gathering historic maps & texts into a free online resource. Something to look forward to! Book here: forms.gle/PjGZFaG2UFUGzH… #Genealogy #History
