Print Maps in Yeats Library

Print maps in the Yeats Library are held in a series of upright cabinets and plan drawer cabinets in the Infozone.

Most maps are listed and may be searched by keyword or other headings in the Library Print Catalogue.  There are also lists and other information regarding the maps on the cabinets themselves. In addition to providing the title of each map, the lists on the upright cabinets indicate towns and other locations found on each map as a general guide to finding the location you require.

A summary of the Ordnance Survey maps in the cabinets is provided in the tabs Upright Cabinet 1 and Upright Cabinet 2

These maps are based on  the Ordnance Survey of Ireland Maps with each archaeological site circled. The index allows  particular sites to be searched by name. The Yeats Library has the majority of these maps and booklets in stock located in the Plan Drawer Cabinets in the Info Zone.They are also available in the Historical Environment Viewer. 

Accessing Digital Maps

The National Mapping Agreement allows educational institutions to access Ordnance Survey of Ireland mapping data not normally made available to the general public.  

One of the main features is the use of the premium basemaps which display a high level of detail at a large scale.     

Access to maps available under the National Mapping Agreement is at:   https://geohive.ie/nmaviewer/

(Note: NMA mapping may not work correctly in all browsers.  If the default browser on your PC won't open the correct basemap, copy the link above and paste it into the address line of an alternative up to date browser)

The link will bring you to a login page.

At the top of the screen choose the link Make Your Map.  This will open the map viewer for the National Mapping Agreement.  When you are finished using the Mapviewer, Click the NMA Viewer logo at the top left of the screen.  This will return you to the Introducing Geohive page.
