The Irish Landed Estates database project has been based at the University of Galway since 2005. In that time our database (https://landedestates.ie/) has had over 1.5million views and is linked to by many major research resources such as the National Archives and the National Library of Ireland. As well as data relating to estates in all counties in Connacht and Munster, data pertaining to the three Ulster counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan has recently been added.
