[Re]constructing the landed estates of Longford and Westmeath: the Irish Landed Estates database

17 August, 12pm - 1pm

  • Edgeworthstown Library
  • Main St. Edgeworthstown, County Longford
  • N39 X9V6
  • Co. Westmeath

Details of Big Houses and Landed Estates of Counties Longford and Westmeath are currently being added to the Landed Estates database (https://landedestates.ie/). This database acts as a signpost for those researching the history of landed estates in Ireland, especially highlighting any collections of estate papers that may be available in archives or libraries.

Marie Boran & Brigid Clesham will give a presentation on the sources they use to construct the database entries. They will also demonstrate the Landed Estates database. They would be delighted to meet those interested in the history of estates in both Longford and Westmeath
