RECORDS: About Beyond 2022 – creating the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland
Beyond 2022 is an all-island and international collaborative research project working to create a virtual reconstruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland, which was destroyed in the opening engagement of the Civil War on June 30th, 1922.
The ‘Record Treasury’ at the Public Record Office of Ireland stored seven centuries of Irish records dating back to the time of the Normans. Together with our 5 Core Archival Partners and over 40 other Participating Institutions in Ireland, Britain and the USA, we are working to recover what was lost in that terrible fire one hundred years ago.

Global-scale climate preservation is an idea that engineers should love, because it opens up new fields and career opportunities. Earth’s climate has run open loop for over 4 billion years; we are lucky that our planet’s wildly fluctuating climate was unusually stable over the 10,000 years that modern civilization arose and flourished. We believe that humankind will soon start wrapping a control loop around earth’s climate, designing and introducing controlled changes that preserve the climate. The basic rationale for climate preservation is to avoid irreversible climate changes.

WINDSOR TERRACE — Father Kevin Sweeney, the Queens-born son of Irish immigrants, went from being a parish priest to becoming the prelate of a diocese that encompasses three northwest New Jersey counties and serves 430,000 Catholics in 108 parishes.
A year into the job, Bishop Sweeney, who is the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Paterson, has comfortably settled in and is looking forward to the future.
“It’s not a surprise every day, but there have been a few surprises every week,” he said. “Realizing the responsibilities that the bishop has, there have been a lot of pleasant surprises, like the vibrancy of the churches in the diocese, the different ministries, and certainly the diocesan leadership.
