Irish Land Commission
 
Brief Description : Deposited records of the now defunct Irish Land Commission date from the seventeenth century onwards, but are not yet catalogued or generally available for public inspection. The records, contained in some 50,000 boxes, consist mainly of deeds, abstracts of title and similar material, and were amassed as a result of the operation of the Irish Land Purchase Acts 1881-1923. The best existing finding aid was compiled by the National Library of Ireland, entitled Records in the Irish Land Commission: Survey and Guide, and takes the form of typescript volumes and card indexes (accessible only in the National Library). The bulk of Irish Land Commission records relating to the Six Counties has been deposited in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, where they are catalogued and accessible.
