#FunFact: we legally have to keep this register as it is a public record!
Our Collections Care team now use it to show the ways fire can do irreparable damage to our collections.

Believe it or not, this is a parish register from the seventeenth century that was damaged during a fire! 🔥
Heat causes the collagen fibres in the parchment to denature and shrink and eventually turn to gelatine, which sometimes has a ‘glassy’ appearance.

Irish help please! In this snip, from a Catholic Parish Register for the Parish of Freshford in Kilkenny, can someone please tell me what the last word says? The entry is for Nicholas Coogan. Thank you!

Poor little Gemini AI couldn't cope with a #genealogy query. Though to be fair it did cope with a simpler one and was mostly searching in the right places. What it didn't tell me, what I already knew, that the critical #parishregister for the early #1600s is missing.

Enjoyed a fascinating document display in #BristolArchives This is all that was left of a #ParishRegister after a WW2 bombing raid #BishopsTranscripts aren't an exact #FileBackUp but better than nothing...
