In June 2007 agreement was reached with University College Dublin to establish the An Bord Altranais Archives Project. This provided for the physical transfer of the collection to the curatorship of UCD Archives, the descriptive cataloguing of the archives, and controlled access. The transfer took place in July 2007 before An Bord Altranais moved premises to Blackrock, County Dublin. [UCD Archives]
