DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis guide introduces researchers to the archives of the Valuation Office, first set up under an Act of 1826 with the purpose of establishing a systematic valuation of property for taxation purposes. The Valuation Office was one of the great administrative enterprises of 19th-century Ireland and, with modifications, it carries out the same functions almost 200 years later. This is an invaluable source of information about properties, providing a continuous record of the names of owners and tenants, as well as data on the property. This guide provides an overview of the archives of the Valuation Office, which are held between the Valuation Office and the National Archives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book brings together leading researchers of British and Irish rural history to consider the role of the land agent, or estate manager, in the modern period. Land agents were an influential and powerful cadre of men, who managed both the day-to-day running and the overall policy direction of landed estates. As such, they occupy a controversial place in academic historiography as well as popular memory in rural Britain and Ireland. Reviled in social history narratives and fictional accounts, the land agent was one of the most powerful tools in the armoury of the British and Irish landed classes and their territorial, political and social dominance. By unpacking the nature and processes of their power, 'The Land Agent' explores who these men were and what was the wider significance of their roles, thus uncovering a neglected history of British rural society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe thousand years explored in this book witnessed developments in the history of Ireland that resonate to this day. Interspersing narrative with detailed analysis of key themes, the first volume in The Cambridge History of Ireland presents the latest thinking on key aspects of the medieval Irish experience. The contributors are leading experts in their fields, and present their original interpretations in a fresh and accessible manner. New perspectives are offered on the politics, artistic culture, religious beliefs and practices, social organisation and economic activity that prevailed on the island in these centuries. At each turn the question is asked: to what extent were these developments unique to Ireland? The openness of Ireland to outside influences, and its capacity to influence the world beyond its shores, are recurring themes. Underpinning the book is a comparative, outward-looking approach that sees Ireland as an integral but exceptional component of medieval Christian Europe.
