Core Map Collection 2: Hibernia Regnum About the Collection: The Hibernia Regnum Map Collection contains 289 facsimiles of the Down Survey of the Baronies of Ireland, 1655- 1659. All of the baronies of Ireland with the exceptions of Galway, Roscommon, and Mayo were mapped– although one Baroney in Mayo, The Barony of Tirrawly, (4.3.1 below), was surveyed. These maps were lost in transit from Dublin to London, as the vessel carrying them was captured by a French privateer in 1707. The maps eventually ended up in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. It was only in 1907 that the French government permitted the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton to create facsimiles of the collection. This work was completed in 1908. The collection comprises two sets: Ulster and Munster; and Leinster and Connaught. Queen’s Special Collections holds 141 maps of the Ulster and Munster Provinces. Of these, there are 105 individual maps and 36 duplicates. The collection also houses 148 maps of the Leinster and Connaught Provinces. Of these, there are 109 individual maps and 39 duplicates. The maps were recorded using a scale of perches to an inch.1 There are two exceptions: The Barony of Gowran in the Count of Kilkenny (3.11.5 below); and The Barony of Sheelelogher the County of Kilkenny (3.11.6 below)– for which no scale is given. The maps have been measured in centimetres (height x width) using the neatline. Please use these measurements only as a guideline; the neatline is frequently skewed, and the map content often protrudes beyond it. These trends occur throughout the entire collection. The titles of the Counties in this listing are based on the tables of contents for Ulster and Munster (1.0 below) and Leinster and Connaught (3.0 below). The below listing uses the original map titles (including any errors in the original titles). The dates are taken directly from the maps, where available.

A standard perch has a length of 5 ½ yards. However, the perch used during the plantation of Ireland was 7 yards in length. 2 This article is available for consultation in Special Collections.
