Martin Cullen TD, Ireland's Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism officially launched the Dictionary of Irish Architects 1720 – 1940, at the Irish Architectural Archive last week. The Dictionary of Irish Architects 1720 - 1940, is a free on-line database which can be accessed on www.dia.ie.
The Online Dictionary of Irish Architects provides information on the lives and works of architects, builders and craftsmen born or working in Ireland during the period 1720 to 1940 and the details of the buildings on which they worked. Some 6,000 individual architects or architectural practices are included in the Dictionary, including over 40,000 building references.
