The 1926 census has been an amazing new resource that allows people to discover their family stories and the stories of their communities since its release online by the National Archives of Ireland on the 18th of April.
Waterford City and County Archives and Waterford Libraries Service in partnership with the National Archives of Ireland are delighted to host an exhibition on the 1926 Census at Waterford Central Library, Lady Lane on Wednesday from 4th – 20th August.
This exhibition from the National Archives of Ireland will allow visitors to explore the Ireland of 1926 and discover the stories told by the census about the newly independent Ireland and its people.
In addition to viewing the exhibition itself visitors will be able to search the census online at laptops made available to accompany the exhibition. Visitors to the exhibition will also find a selection of documents from Waterford City and County Archives providing a glimpse into life in Waterford City and County in the 1920s.
