The National Archives - Early Irish maps from State Papers c.1558 - c.1610
These maps come from the ‘State Papers Ireland’, the main record of government business in the early modern period. The maps were originally bound with papers in a specific map series, SP 64, which runs parallel to the main series of State Papers Ireland in SP 63, among which maps can also be found. You can download these state papers free of charge using the links in the table. The table also shows the original references, and which map extract references the maps are now held under.
