Very interesting. Digitising is duplication, which is a safe guard to
accidental destruction of the originals, such as what happened to the
records lost in the Four Courts fire. An essential precaution in any
case and deserving of some urgency. Wider public access will be more
popular, but of lower priority to having a second copy held elsewhere.

Anyone with insight or experience as to whether there are records for
county Tyrone, Donegal, Londonderry still “hidden” amongst the papers
of the Irish Land Claims Commission?
If so, how do we access them, how can we assist in enabling these too
to be digitised and shared?
Finding and releasing these would make a wonderful “Community Project”
for 2022!
Kind regards
