Military archives will be closed to the public during the above period to facilitate the vital tasks of stock-checking; rehousing of collections and archival processing. During the period, there will be no access by members of the public to Archives and researchers should plan accordingly. Queries can be sent by post to OIC Military Archives as usual. However, researchers are reminded that, as is the case in other archives, detailed research for individuals cannot be carried out by staff at Military Archives.
Please call the duty archivist at +353 (0)1 804 6457 for any queries on the closure.
The understanding of our researchers in this matter is much appreciated.
Please bear with us while we update the Military Archives webpages.
