A new initiative to digitally record the interiors of Ireland’s churches is set to launch next month. The project will record the interiors of more than 3,000 Irish Catholic churches, which could bring new possibilities for genealogical research.
The launch will come as part of the Catholic Historical Society of Ireland’s annual conference, entitled ‘Irish Catholic Spaces: Pasts and Futures’, at St Patrick’s Campus in Dublin City University, Drumcondra, Dublin on September 19.
Parish – Preserving and Recording Ireland’s Sacred Heritage – is a collaborative history and heritage project of Maynooth University and the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs.
