Historic Maps

• Maps held by the Local Studies section are all of a historic nature. They are held in three formats: microfilm, hardcopy and many are now digitised and may be viewed online.

The Townland Index is the main staring point for most research. This index gives in alphabetical order the name of every townland in County Waterford and the corresponding Sheet Numbers on which each townland can be found. This can be downloaded here:

• Townland Index (123 kbs)

Sheet numbers can be used to locate maps in several formats:

• Numbers correspond with hardcopy maps held at Dungarvan Central Library.
• Digitised Griffith's Maps can be located and downloaded by completing the search sequence below:
  - Locate sheet number(s) for your townland.
  - Open library catalogue and search the 'contents' index.
  - Search by sheet number. For example, to download Abbeyside maps type: 'Griffith's Valuation Sheet 31'. Use this format for all searches.
