    I'm just perusing the Heritage Week catalogue and thought this might be of interest as they do have records of people who worked on the railways.

    Railway Library and Archives Open Day

    Founded in 1946, the Society operates a Library and Archives dedicated to the study and operations of all aspects of railway history. Visitors can view our collections and small exhibits museum.

    Date: Saturday 29/08 11-1700
    Venue: Irish Railway Record Society, Heuston station
    Free, no booking needed
    Email: info@irrs.ie

    Secondly: Harriest Wheelock, the archivist of the Royal College of Physicians is doing a talk on their records on Wednesday 26/08 at 13:00 in 6 Kildare St. Booking is required for that one. I've heard her talk before and she really knows her stuff.
