Following its absorption into the United Kingdom in 1801, Ireland was at the receiving end of an expanding imperial governance which generated a comprehensive geographical archive throughout the nineteenth century. The running of national and local government was facilitated by the publication of maps and surveys, inventories of property and valuations, topographic and statistical databases of population, place names, and administrative units, surveys of bogs and mineral resources, and scores of reports of commissions of enquiry on a diverse range of social, economic, and development issues. This chapter traces the production, publication, distribution, and uses of printed maps and reports at the behest of the government, a publishing process which might be seen as an important part of the extension of colonial control in Ireland.
