In July 1984, 40 years ago, Dublin Public Libraries held a series of lectures on "Tracing Your Family Tree" in Raheny and Dean's Grange public libraries, which attracted a lot of interest.  Following those lectures a small group met informally every month in Raheny Library led by the late Ray Wickham, to help each other in undertaking research. From this group, Raheny Heritage Society was formed in January 1987 to encourage research in both family and local history.

40 years later, Raheny Heritage Society and Raheny Library are delighted to co-host Tara Doyle, Senior Librarian, Dublin City Library and Archive.
