Museum Standards Programme for Ireland

Museums, Collections and Archives dataset created and managed by the Heritage Council. This dataset is a comprehensive record of natural and cultural heritage facilities open to the public across the island of Ireland. The dataset was created to provide a comprehensive list of these types of heritage facility throughout Ireland, providing a temporal basis for research within this sector. The dataset was also created to provide a map that would enable researchers and tourists to search for natural and cultural heritage facilities geographically and by category. The dataset includes information on each facility's exhibitions, address and contact details.

The Local Authority Museums Network dataset created by the Heritage Council.This dataset maps, and provides details for, the Local Authority-run County museums across Ireland.

This dataset displays the UNESCO World Heritage sites and Geoparks across the island of Ireland.

The aim of this survey was to obtain a general overview of the maritime-related collections in Ireland, to ascertain the location, ownership, condition, overall theme, and nature of the contents of each collection. It is neither an inventory nor a full evaluation of the collections, and is in no way intended to criticize either the collections or their custodians.

This dataset pinpoints national monuments around the country which are accessible to the public. The national monuments mapped on the website feature those at which the Office of Public Works maintain visitor services (for which there may be a charge) and those which have no formal visitor services on-site but which are accessible to the public.

The Pilgrim Paths of Ireland are a collection of ancient religious routes around the country which have documented claims to having been used by pilgrims since ancient times. Its objective is the development of a network of walking routes along medieval pilgrimage paths. The project aims to raise awareness of the different aspects of heritage, built and natural, encountered along the routes, while contributing to sustainable tourism and community development in each local area.
