Tipperary Studies Databases

Do you have roots in the Irish county of Tipperary?  The Tipperary Studies website could have useful information now available online for you.
Launched on Saturday 21 May, the new website's Digitization Project provides online access to a wealth of historic records held by the library, including rate books for the Poor Law Unions of Cashel, Nenagh and Thurles (1840s-70s) and Irish Tourist Association Reports (1942-45) for the county’s parishes.  One of the aims of the project is to make these and other information sources held by the Society available to everyone, free of charge.
Tipperary Studies also holds an annual Tipperary People and Places Lecture series throughout the winter months, commencing in October and running through to the following March. Lectures take place on the third Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm, in the Gallery of the Source Library, Thurles. Each season the Series covers a number of different subjects. The Society also has its own YouTube Channel where videos of past lectures can be viewed.
