Introduction

The Dublin Port Archive covers the history of the Port from 1707, offering a unique insight into how Dublin Port shaped Dublin City. The Archive comprises 75,000 photographs, 30,000 engineering drawings, 600 historical registers, yearbooks dating back to 1926 along with a ‘Name Book’ for employees from 1906 to 1925.

Under the 1996 Harbours Act, there is a requirement for Irish Ports to look after their archives. In 2017, Dublin Port appointed its first full-time archivist.
