Cork Repositories

The Cork County Library and the Local Studies section of the Cork City Library in Co. Cork are the two main resources. The Cork Archives has a lot of material and the Cork Museum can also be useful.
The Diocese of Cloyne’s computerized records (both Catholic and Church of Ireland) are at the Mallow Heritage Centre.
Cork City Catholic Church Records are being computerized by the Cork Ancestral Project. However as of the 12th March 2008, a new paying website has been set up. www.irish-roots.net and intends to cover all Ireland.

See the Cork and Ross website for details of parishes. Uniquely, the North Parish (St. Mary’s Catholic Church) records are available in printed form in the Cork Co. Library. Otherwise, you have to go to the individual church which may or may not have computerized records available. Access to these records varies from church to church.

Church of Ireland records for parts of the city and county are available from the computerized database: Cobh Genealogical Project
Representative Church Body Library (RCBL) in Dublin holds many of the parish registers.
