The Garda Síochána Historical Society
The Garda Síochána Historical Society is a non-profit organisation, set up in response to requests from both members of the Garda Síochána and the public. On 20 January 1995, a meeting was held in the Garda Museum/Archives and the Garda Síochána Historical Society was born.
| | Attendees at the Society's First Meeting |
The Society aims is to bring the rich history and traditions of Irish policing (especially the history of the Garda Síochána) into the public arena. To this end, the Society organises lectures and exhibitions throughout Ireland and also acts as a support service for the development of the Garda Museum/Archives.
