As part of their remit to publish primary and secondary research material on the Internet, Kildare Library and Arts Service have added a new database of Kildare Townlands to their website.
The aim, as with all other online resources, is to encourage people to engage in local history and genealogy as well as increasing accessibility to the fabulous Irish, Local and Archival collections in Kildare County Library.
It is hoped that material such as this will prove to be an invaluable resource for local historians, researchers, third level students, school children and anyone interested in the rich and varied history of the County of Kildare.
The new townlands index is available at www.kildare.ie/library/townlands
A list of links to some of the other online historical resources provided by Kildare County Library is available at www.kildare.ie/library/localstudies/local-studies-department.asp#resources
