I'm a geography graduate so I love maps and when I recently found a feast of them on University College Dublin's Library website, I very happily spent an afternoon gorging myself on their cartographic delights. There are not just links to maps held by UCD but also those in other academic collections such as the Harvard Digital Library.
The UCD Maps and GIS Librarian has also very helpfully included a presentation on "Free websites sources for historical maps of Ireland" where she gives excellent guidance and practical advice on how to make the most of using these valuable resources.

I have updated my web page on Irish Maps and Gazetteers with these new links and added some updated advice for wrangling with the Ordnance Survey of Ireland map viewer.
Maps and clues in the geographical information associated with our ancestors are such a great resource for Irish research that I've made them the subject of a talk that I give called "Irish Research - Getting Your Bearings".
