I am advised by the National Museum of Ireland that it collects material of national and regional importance where a connection with the Famine is verifiable. I understand that the Museum is in possession of a number of objects relating to the Famine that are categorized broadly into collections. The Museum is currently working on completing a central electronic database for all its collections, including those that relate to the Famine.
