The Origins Network have partnered with Ireland's best family history research and publishing company, Eneclann Ltd and The National Library of Ireland to make available the most complete Griffith's Primary Valuation of Ireland.
Because most of the census records for the nineteenth century were destroyed in 1922, when the Public Records Office was burned down, Griffith's Valuation represents the most comprehensive survey of households available for the period. For this reason, it is a principal tool of genealogists and local historians.
Unlike previous attempts to index or publish Griffith's Valuation, this will be the first time the entire survey has been published since it was originally issued in the 19th century. This edition contains all the original publications, revisions and amended versions that were published over the 17 years it took to complete the valuation. No library in any country in the world, including Ireland, has a full set of Griffith's Valuation. So for the first time users of the new web edition can be sure that they have all the source material at hand in one place. Users are to search a complete database of personal and place names, and then access scanned images of the original published pages.
