The Irish Architectural Archive's Biographical Index of Irish Architects contains information on Irish architects or on architects who worked in Ireland from1720 to 1940.1720 is the date at which Rolf Loeber's A biographical dictionary of architects in Ireland 1600-1720 (1981) ends, while 1940 marks the natural break in architectural and building activity in Ireland caused by the Second World War. The database contains biographical and bibliographical details on each architect, as well as a list of the buildings and projects on which he or she is known to have worked.
The database was created and compiled by Ann Martha Rowan.
This project receives special support from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
To see if the Biographical Index contains information on a particular architect, type the surname or part thereof in the box and press return.
The complete Index may be consulted in the Archive's Reading Room. It is hoped that it will be available on-line soon.
