Within this project Newry and Mourne Museum (based in Newry) and Louth County Archive Service (based in Dundalk) made accessible via ICT, archival information on the historical development of the Newry and Mourne/Louth cross border region.

The project involved cataloguing onto a computer database the appropriate archival collections held in both Newry and Dundalk. Up to 20,000 archival items from this region were placed online.

Both archive collections are linked in a Knowledge Web, placing the archives at the heart of a 21st-century learning agenda. Additionally the project also included the development of an online exhibition focusing on the material held in both archives. This online exhibition is available to schools, local libraries, museums, businesses and professionals, tourism offices and the general public, locally, nationally and internationally and is supplemented by a permanent exhibition.

An education resource was also produced for 250 schools in the Louth-Newry & Mourne regions, this CD ROM uses material in both archives to look at the themes that are studied by schools such as the Great Famine, the Home Rule Crisis and Partition and provides a local perspective on these national events.
