War and Raid Files Collection

Biographical/historical information: The files originally formed part of the Minute Papers (or Administrative files) Collection. The files relating to World War I and the Irish War of Independence and Civil War were taken out of the Minute Papers filing system at some point (probably in the 1920s-1930) and bound into 3 volumes. The files underwent conservation in 2019-2020 and were removed from the bound volumes as these were causing them to degrade. The are now stored in acid free folders and boxes. The Collection was originally stored in Irish Lights Headquarters: 6 Lower Pembroke St and later in the Baily Lighthouse Museum from 2008-2019. It is currently stored in Irish Light's headquarters in Dun Laoghaire.
