Archive of the month from the RCB Library
This year the Church of Ireland Gazette is marking its 160th anniversary, having been published continuously since March 1856. Initially named the Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette (up to 1900) it was published for the first three years of its existence on a monthly basis as ‘monthly repertory of miscellaneous church news’. However, from October 1859 it began to appear weekly, and has appeared virtually every week since then, publication falling on a Friday. One exception to the weekly pattern occurred 100 years ago this month in 1916 for the edition scheduled for Friday 28 April.
