The table shows visitor numbers to the National Archives from 2011-2015. The figures are published in the Director’s Annual Reports on www.nationalarchives.ie.
It may be noted that the National Archives continues to see growth in online visitors to its archival resources and this far exceeds footfall to the Reading Room. For example, in 2015 over 6,000 people visited the National Archives websites every day, compared with an average of 50 physical visits per day.
