The archives of Our Lady’s Hospital Ennis was acquired in 2002 under
a joint project with the Mid Western Health Board. The hospital records
are a microcosm for the social and economic conditions pertaining in Ennis
and in County Clare and for this reason the archives are a valuable part
of the county’s history. This is a large collection covering 108
linear feet. It took over a year to fully process the collection and the
material is now available to the public. Closure periods have been agreed
with the Health Service Executive (Mid-Western region) to protect the
privacy of individuals.
