Online Catalogue (Photographs)
Many photographs are catalogued onto the Online Catalogue. The Hogan, Keogh, Tilbrook, Congested Districts Board, Casement and Tuke collections are available in their entirety on the Online Catalogue with digital images attached to the catalogue records.
Sections of the Lawrence, Eason, Valentine, Clonbrock, Clarke, O’Dea, Wiltshire and Independent Newspapers (Ireland) collections have also been catalogued. The majority of these catalogue records also have digital images attached.
Digital Photographs
Since 2007 the Library has undertaken a major project to digitise its glass plate collections. Over 33,000 photographs from the Lawrence (Royal & Cabinet), Poole Whole Plate, Independent Newspaper (1912-1936), Eason, Keogh, Clarke, Stereo Pair, and Tempest collections may be viewed through the Digital Photographs Database. The low resolution images are accompanied by basic information, including the title, date and location where this information is available.
Other Photographic Databases
Photographic databases provide a listing for the Clonbrock, Lawrence, O’Dea and Poole Collections.
Printed Lists
Also available for consultation in the reading room are current collection indexes, and surrogate prints for some of the smaller collections. A number of general reference sources on photography are also available for consultation.
