Microform Resources
The library has a microform reader/scanner that interfaces with one of our computers permitting you to print microform images or save them to floppy or CD-ROM disc. Here are a few of our most use microforms. A complete list follows.
Microfiche copy of Griffith's Valuation
This is a tax list generated between 1848-1864, which locates those listed in a specific county, parish, and townland of Ireland, along with the name of the person from whom the land was leased.
Microfilm copy of the New York Immigration Bank Records
As immigrants, primarily Irish, established accounts, usually for the purpose of sending money home to Ireland, they were asked many identifying questions (sometimes the names of family members and sometimes the exact place in Ireland from which the immigrants came).
Microfilm index to sub-denominations in Six-Inch Maps of Ireland
These are often the place names remembered by emigrants and carried down in family tradition as the family home. This index locates all the named hills, churches, and manses that are indexed nowhere else. These indexes can only be found here and in the National Library of Ireland in Dublin.
Ontario, Canada Land Records Index
A record of settlers, many of whom were Irish, acquiring land from the government in Ontario.
