Dublin Port Archive - Name Book

ambros1a

I just came across this great resource today. The name book contains records for workers employed by the Dublin Port and Docks Board from 1906 to 1925. In addition to a search function, it also provides digital access to the name book where there are additional employment details. A downloadable pdf of the ledger is also available. https://www.dublinportarchive.com/collection/the-name-book/

There are other collections too: photos, newspaper clippings and more recent yearbooks etc. I haven't explored these but it is a useful resource if you have ancestors who lived or worked in the docks area of Dublin. https://www.dublinportarchive.com/

Yes, it's a lovely resource.

Paula Jones (MA History of the Family) gave a great talk on the North Dock community for the Genealogical Society of Ireland recently. It's up on YouTube.

Thank you. Looks interesting. I'll definitely take a look - I have relatives who lived in the area.
