FindMyPast.ie — access to a growing collection of Irish records

Fold3 — American military records and some US newspapers

You will be able to sign up for a one-hour time period from Friday afternoon through to Sunday, and will be able to use any of these databases.  You’ll be able to save images from your successful searches to a USB flash drive.

These databases will only be available within the Research Room.  Sorry, we cannot provide you with access on your own laptop computer.
