Case Study: Trinity College Dublin achieves a digital revival of Ireland’s lost records with Ebow

Trinity College Dublin rebuilds 250 million searchable words with Ebow

The customer, Trinity College Dublin, faced the monumental challenge of rebuilding Ireland's lost national archives after their destruction in 1922. They possessed recovered historical fragments but lacked a public platform to make this ambitious reconstruction accessible and understandable to everyone. They partnered with vendor Ebow to digitally revive this cultural heritage.

Ebow helped translate the complex historical data into an intuitive, public-facing platform, resulting in the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland. The solution holds over 350,000 records and 250 million searchable words, allowing history to be explored as a connected system. The project achieved global recognition, won multiple awards, and saw a remarkable 1,253.4% increase in active users, making Ireland's shared history accessible to all.
