The Irish Architectural Archive server is finally fully restored. E-mail is back and the catalogue is once again accessible in the Archive’s reading room.
Emails to the Archive sent between Monday 9 July and Tuesday 17 July will not have been received. Any urgent messages – and even the non-urgent ones – sent over that period should be sent again.
Unfortunately, the IAA server is currently offline so we have no email connectivity and our catalogue is unavailable. You can contact us by phone and the DIA remains online at ww.dia.ie.
