New edition of 'Church of Ireland Records' launched
A new edition of Church of Ireland Records was launched by Professor Raymond Gillespie, NUI Maynooth, in St Patrick?s Deanery on 30 March.
Church of Ireland Records is one of the Maynooth Research Guides for Irish Local History. It introduces local historians to the records of the Church of Ireland, which was, from the Reformation until the late nineteenth century, the established church and therefore part of the apparatus of government as well as a religious denomination. The book contains an overview of the Church?s administration and the records which it produced, a guide to published catalogues and printed editions of archives and manuscripts, and an introduction to the principal repositories in which Church of Ireland records are to be found.
The guide has been written by Dr Raymond Refaussé, Librarian and Archivist in the Representative Church Body Library, and draws on over twenty-five years experience as the archivist of the Church of Ireland.
