An Post's Reward Notice Collection
'Robbery on the Road' is the title of an exhibition of a small collection of reward notices drawn from An Post's archive collection.
These notices offer an insight not only into the functioning of the nineteenth century Irish Post Office but also into aspects of local history throughout the country.
The collection is a rare survivor of the pre-1916 General Post Office. Set aside for many years they came to light again a few years ago and although creased and dirty, their importance as an original historical source was appreciated.
(new window) Available to view at the Glasnevin Museum until July 31.
