The Dublin Gazette from 1750-1800 online

A nice discovery by Chris Paton, who will be a speaker on Sunday the 20th of September at the BIFHSGO conference, is fifty years worth of Dublin Gazettes, from the 1750s to 1800 (1809?). The Dublin Gazette at this time was the official organ of government, equivalent to the London Gazette.

PDF page images, searchable, are hosted at the Oireachtas library website at http://opac.oireachtas.ie. Convenient access is through a list near the end of the page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dublin_Gazette#External_links.

There are 49 files and downloading is slow -- tens of minutes for each file.
