National school records from various primary schools in Offaly and bordering townlands. Mainly contain registers and roll books concerning, respectively, the registration and the daily attendance of pupils; and also smaller amounts of other records such as daily attendance statistical report books and inspectors books.
The registers record a pupil's name, age, and date of birth, and the address and occupation of parents.
