The '''Irish Genealogical Research Society''' (usually IGRS) was founded in 1936 by the Reverend Wallace G. Clare. He saw the need to build up a library and archive of Irish genealogical material to offset the tragic loss of many Public Record Office documents in the burning of the [[Four Courts]], Dublin, during fighting in 1922. The IGRS is based in London, so at once became the earliest founded society for Irish genealogical research, as well as the first established by expatriates from Ireland.
==History==
Acquisitions of genealogical material were first stored at Gray's Inn, London, before being transferred to Thornton College, Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, during [[World War II]]. Subsequently the library was installed in the [[Challoner Club]] until 1997, then at the [[Irish Club]] in Eaton Square, before currently having a temporary home at the [[Society of Genealogists]] in London.
The Irish Branch of the IGRS was founded in 1967 and has become a major part of the organisation. Membership is open to all applicants who have an interest in Irish ancestry and it has typically ranged between 500 and 1000 over recent decades.
==Publications==
The IGRS produces an annual print publication (originally semi-annual), '''The Irish Genealogist''', comprising field-work research and scholarly articles of Irish family history. Fourteen volumes have been published, with the 15th currently being issued to the membership in the usual six parts.
During the 1980s a newsletter was started, continuing today in an electronic form.
