RDS Shows

RDS Shows

From the mid-19th century through to the early 1990s the RDS supported Irish agriculture through the auspices of its agricultural shows. These included the RDS Bull Show and Winter Show and most famously the RDS Spring Show which ran from 1831-1992, without interruption, even during the Easter Rising of 1916.

The RDS Shows collection currently includes the digitised catalogues of the RDS Spring Show, Bull Show, Winter Show and other RDS agricultural shows for the years 1831 to 2002.
