The Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI) is an all-island and international research partnership hosted by Trinity College Dublin. This is an effort to reconstruct the Public Record Office of Ireland — a magnificent archive destroyed in 1922 at the outset of the Irish Civil War. This is an ever-growing, open-access resource, freely and permanently available online to any researcher interested in Ireland’s deep history, at home and abroad. See virtualtreasury.ie 

Dr. Gurrin will describe some of the surviving records for the Palatines which are available to researchers via the Virtual Record Treasury, including the relevant surviving returns from the 1766 religious census of Ireland, the greatest survey held in Ireland between the Down Survey of the 1650s and the national censuses of Ireland of the nineteenth century. He will also introduce some records which may find their way into the Treasury during this phase of the project.

Dr Brian Gurrin is a post doctoral fellow in the Department of History of Trinity College Dublin. He serves as the Census and Population Specialist on the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland project. He has written extensively on census taking in Ireland. He is particularly interested in the demographics of Ireland’s regions in the pre-Famine period, and especially the religious demography of Ireland in the 1760s.
