The Irish Architectural Archive

The Irish Architectural Archive is a Dublin institution devoted to recording and preserving the buildings of Ireland. Its collections gather drawings, photographs, plans and papers documenting Irish architecture and the people who designed it.

The archive is a working research resource, used by historians, architects, students and anyone tracing the story of a particular building. It also runs a public exhibition space, so casual visitors with an interest in Georgian Dublin, country houses or the wider built heritage of Ireland can call in without needing a research appointment.
