    As reported by Claire Santry at Irish Genealogy News the Valuation Office have released their Strategic Plan 2021-2023 and the good news appears to be that funding is in place to put their archive online.
    The Valuation Office released its Annual Review 2020 and Strategic Plan 2021–2023 last month. Having finally got round to reading them, I'm happy to relay some positive news about the s...l...o...w digitisation of the Revision Books, the manuscripts and maps that can serve as census substitutes when hunting down ancestors and family from the mid-19th century to the 1990s.

    So where are we now? Well, the project has funding, it has a name – The Valuation Office Archive Preservation Project – and the doors to the Research Room remain closed. But the Strategic Plan says the organisation will complete the digitisation of and provide online access (my underlining) to its archive of historical valuation records during the period of the Plan: 2021 to 2023.

    That's great news. I actually was telling someone this morning that this was eventually going to happen so delighted to know it is sooner than expected.
