103 years ago #OTD Dublin's Four Courts, including the Irish PRO, was destroyed at the start of the Irish Civil War.

Excellent start to the Royal Irish Academy's Research Day. 3 Great examples of research, collaboration and deploying the digital.

Today, I had the chance to visit the National Library of Luxembourg together w. Dáibhí Ó Cróinín & HE Ambassador Jean McDonald. We were shown some of the oldest fragments in their collection, incl. one of Gregory's Dialogues & the Hisperica Famina, both of 7th-c. date & kept at Echternach. 1/2

Not a problem! Our members have broad interests - even allll the way back to Richard II.

The Irish Manuscripts Commission has launched Analecta Hibernica Special Issue No. 53: “The Fire of 1922” edited by Elva Johnston, Virtual Records Treasury of Ireland Director Peter Crooks, and Virtual Treasury Research Fellow Timothy Murtagh. Many of the authors are VirtualTreasury scholars.

An Interesting find today from 1919. A sad loss but not a total loss with the current great work of @VirtualTreasury & @CWallaceDublin
