Between c.1970-1990 Brian J. Cantwell transcribed and published 11 volumes of graveyard transcriptions primarily covering Counties Wicklow, Wexford and South Dublin. Other transcriptions were either published in journals (Galway and Kildare) or unpublished (Clare, Cork and Sligo); the latter were lodged in the family collection in the National Archives. In 2005 a CD of all published and unpublished memorial transcriptions was published by Eneclann. The contents of this CD are now available on Irish Origins.
Cantwell's original typewritten records have all been scanned and are available here as digitised images. All the names in the transcriptions have been indexed - over 60,000 people are mentioned.
These transcriptions covered all visible and legible memorials in graveyards that had a date of 1880 or before and all surviving interior church memorials.
