MAKING AN APPOINTMENT

Tá seirbhís Ghaeilge ar fáil más míon leat. Ní mór duit teagmháil a dhéanamh leis an Captaen Mac Eoin, leas-ceannasaí an Chartlann Mhíleata.

The reading room at Military Archives has eight seats and is located downstairs in the archives building. Prior appointment (by telephone to 00 353 (0)1 804 6457) is necessary to secure a place, due to space limitations. At present, the reading room is open from 1000hrs to 1600hrs, Tuesday to Thursday (inclusive).

Many collections have paper finding aids, but most research will require an orientation with the duty archivist to ascertain which records are most relevant. This can be done on arrival. Power sockets are available for laptop use. Use of cameras may be permitted by prior permission only, provided images are taken for one-time, personal study use only and a legal agreement form is signed.

Rules for the Reading Room are available at the front desk or for download at this link, Reading Room Rules [PDF 14KB].

To facilitate the administration of your appointment in Military Archives you can prepare some of the reading room forms in advance of your visit.

Those with special needs should indicate this to the duty archivist when making their appointment to ensure the provision of the best possible service
