The Erasmus Smith Trust Archive is a unique archive in areas of Irish Education History and Land History.
This new version of the web site includes several on-line resources to act as finding aids for our holdings. These pages now have on-line the Google maps of the former Trust schools in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and a listing of former Schools with a brief summary of their history and involvement with the Trust. There is also information on books about the Trust and history of the High School, Dublin.
In this decade of commemorations the Archive is undertaking an extensive research project into The High School, Dublin pupils who served in the Great War. Working with transition year students and English teacher Michelle Burrows information is being complied on a blog, drawing on many research sources, see www.hsdwarstories.com
