'Ulster Libraries'
This pocket-sized guide to Ulster libraries, archives, museums and
ancestral heritage centre introduces visitors to the wealth of research
resources available in the nine counties of historic Ulster (including
Belfast), Armagh, Cavan, Donegall, Down, Fermanagh, Derry, Monaghan and
Tyrone.
This is the first book of its kind to be made available for the North
American audience of some 50 million who can claim Irish descent.
Essential information, such as location, telephone numbers, opening
hours, access conditions, contact names and services is clearly
arranged. There are also additional details about special collections,
publications and interesting historical notes.
A notable feature of great use to family and local history researchers
is the vital reference details for each parish for the crucially-
important tithe and valuation records for c. 1830 - in the record
offices in Belfast and Dublin.
The Guide also provides information of practical benefit to a wide range
of other interested parties: academic researchers, professionals in the
area of business, marketing, law and technology, as well as vacationers
interested mainly in learning about local resources available to them
during their stay in the North.
