Irish Genealogical Resources at Boston College

The Irish Genealogy guide highlights genealogical resources in the Boston College Libraries. Genealogical resources come in many formats.  Boston College Libraries hold books, journals, microfilms and electronic resources that assist the genealogical researcher.  The tabs above are organized by kinds of resources.  Each resource listed will have location information, and, in some cases, information on how to use a resource.

Please note that personalized genealogical research services are not available through the Boston College Libraries.  This type of service may be available from independent researchers or from other institutions.

There are several "How To" books listed on this page that will help you get started on family history research.  In addition, the "Ireland Roots" website provides an introductory page, Getting Started on Your Family History.
