New website for the Irish Defence Forces Archives

   http://www.militaryarchives.ie/

Military Archives is the place of deposit for the records of the Department of Defence, the Defence Forces and the Army Pensions Board.

Currently includes searchable maps, plans and image database, and will soon have details of the Bureau of Military History (1913-1921) and  Military Archives Image Identification Project.
