Navan & District Historical Society

Our first Journal Navan – Its People and Its Past, Vol. 1 was published just before Christmas 2011 and it sold out in a matter of weeks.  We printed a second run and it too sold out so this Journal is now officially out of print.

We have been asked on many occasions if we will be printing any more copies of this Journal.  The answer to this is in the negative.  Hence we are uploading the articles contained in Navan, Its People and Its Past, Vol. 1 to our website.
