The Art College Student Registers comprise 150 ledgers spanning the period 1877-1986. Each page of the ledgers has been digitally scanned and the individual names of students, and the academic year of enrollment have been indexed and are available as a searchable database. Approximately 20,000 named individuals have been recorded, providing a unique record of Irish artists and designers.

This is the archive of one of the largest and most prestigious ecclesiastical decorators in Ireland and the UK which operated out of Dublin offices from 1852-1974. The collection of designs and supporting documentation was donated by the Earley family to the National Irish Visual Arts Library (NIVAL) at NCAD between 2002 and 2005. A project to index and digitise the drawings was completed in 2004.

The Artists’ Database was compiled in order to improve public access to NIVAL’s extensive hard copy files of information on 20th century and contemporary Irish artists. The database contains basic biographical and work details abstracted from the information in the hard copy files held in the Library.

The SHCDA records, collates and preserves public poetry performances and is administered by the Special Collections Department of Queen’s University Belfast University. The aim is to provide an easily managed, searchable database that generates original research. Compiled metadata enables detailed Track File pages, links to related materials, and searches within pre-assigned browse categories.
