ESB Archives NEEDS YOU!

Following the launch of www.esbarchives.ie we now need your help to ensure that we continue to preserve and maintain our corporate memory for both internal and external users of our archives.

Records you are creating today are the history of tomorrow.

Since the establishment of ESB Archives, we have accumulated a significant collection of archival material. We preserve over 8,000 boxes of archival documents, in addition our collection also includes electronic records, photographs, films and artefacts.

Our archives are a unique corporate asset that are utilised for important legal, marketing, innovation, communications and business decisions that form part of a historical business context. As a rule our archives are kept permanently and contain only information that explains and illustrates the key development and activity of our business over time.

Rather than being just a matter of nostalgia, our archive is an important investment in the future of our company.

Our collection thanks to your support over those years now forms an important part of the country’s archival records which can be used not only to trace the development of ESB but also at a broader level can also be used to shed light on the of evolution of the State.

It is estimated that about five per cent of all company records are appropriate for retention in our archive. An example of the types of records that we require are:

  • strategic plans such as business development and business continuity plans
  • major contracts and agreements
  • major project files (project brief, cost, implementation planning)
  • operating plans (documentation showing commercial activity)
  • strategic planning documentation
  • company reports for external enquiries or commissions
  • corporate communications and media relations
  • advertising material
  • market research and plans
  • photographs and film of key milestones across the business, example: innovations, awards, sports and social activities

Please contact us by emailing esbarchives or phone 01-6042136/42132 where our archive will be delighted to offer further assistance.

Where possible please provide photos or scans and a description of the records that you think have archival value.

When: Every Tuesday & Thursday starting on the 17th May till the 9th June.
