Seal of Mary Whitshead.
RIA GSA/25/1, Deeds of the Guild of St Anne, 9 George I, Item 1 (13 February 1723) - By 1723, the heavy wax seals hanging from the bottom of the parchment have been done away with in favor of an image impressed into several drops of wax poured directly on the document itself.  https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/RIA-GSA-25-1

Locating women in the historical archive deepens our understanding of the past.
For #IWD2026 we're sharing records + research highlighting women in the records + their role in History. Starting with this 😀 👇️
