Irish Historic Towns Atlas

 

The Royal Irish Academy has just published Dungarvan as number 30 in their Irish Towns Atlas Series.  The museum was delighted to provide information and many of the illustrations for the atlas. Congratulations to the author John Martin and the Academy for producing such a wonderful publication which will be an essential reference work for anyone interested in the history of Dungarvan.  The Atlas will be launched on YouTube on 3rd December and the author was interviewed by Museum curator William Fraher.  The atlas is for sale at Garvey’s Supervalu and Easons or direct from the Royal Irish Academy website. 

The earliest map of Dungarvan featured in the Atlas is currently on display in the museum.
