As part of the forthcoming Heritage Week 2013, the Louth County Archives Service will be opening up their facility at the Old Gaol on the Ardee Road to allow the public to participate in indexing archives.
As part of the event, a Louth Archivist will show you how to index a selection of archives for online access and open up an often under-utilised collection of archives by making them more useable for researchers.
The event gives you the chance to learn more about life in early 20th century Louth and gain an insight into the operation of local government in the years after its inception.
The end result will be made available on the Louth County Archives’ website.
The free event will take place on August 19th and 20th from 9.30am to 1pm but booking is required by calling Lorraine McCann at 042-9324358 or emailing her at lorraine.mccann@louthcoco.ie
