The Bureau of Military History was established in 1947 by Oscar Traynor TD, Minister for Defence and OC Dublin Brigade of the IRA, ‘to assemble and co-ordinate material to form the basis for the compilation of the history of the movement for independence from the formation of the Irish Volunteers on 25 November 1913 to the 11 July 1921’ (Report of the Director, 1957). In March 2003 the material gathered by the Bureau was made public through the work of the Military Archives, Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin. Conor Kostick spoke to its Director, Comdt. Victor Laing, about this extraordinary historical resource.
