The Commonwealth and Protectorate Records consist of the documents left by the English authorities in Ireland, who governed the country from 1649 until 1660, when the regime was removed following the restoration of Charles II to the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland. The Commonwealth Records originally comprised a discrete collection of approximately 56 bound volumes in the Four Courts, containing 22,500 pages of handwritten records.
