🇮🇪📜Many of you have spent the past few days exploring the 1926 Census of Ireland on your own - but as promised, we are very proud to share details of this very exciting event from the UK National Archives.
On Tuesday April 28th the National Archives of the UK will host an online event as part of their What's Online Series!
From your hosts: "This presentation will guide users through key search tools, browsing options, and the custom map and dashboard features, while outlining the census’s distinctive elements, bilingual forms, redesigned household questions and a universal Form A covering families, institutions and military populations. It will also highlight rich data on language, occupation, employer and agricultural acreage, and briefly describe the extensive conservation and digitisation project that enabled this landmark release.
Join Orlaith McBride, Director, National Archives, Ireland 🇮🇪and Zoë Reid, Public Services and Collection Care, National Archives, Ireland to find out how this resource supports family historians, social historians and those tracing Irish connections from across the UK. 🌳
What’s Online is a series of events delivered by our experts and special guests. This webinar will be presented on Vimeo. You do not need a Vimeo account to join an event, and can join from your browser from a laptop or mobile device. However, for the best experience we recommend using either a laptop or desktop computer."
