Department of Justice: Central Registry files

The JUS/3 series follows on from the Department of Justice Central Registry ‘H’ file series which ends in 1934. Most of the JUS/3 files are from 1934 onwards, although some will predate this, with the earliest dating to 1877. The series consists of [58] sub-series covering all aspects of the work of the Department of Justice, including Garda administration, censorship, administration of courts, prisons and reformatory schools, regulation of transport, licensing and public entertainment, and the imposition of Emergency Powers Orders during the 1939-1945 period.
