Dublin City Historians in Residence
Dublin City Historians in Residence
Dublin City Historians in Residence work in neighbourhoods across the city to encourage local people to engage with history, and to promote its sources and discussion, especially the historical collections in Dublin City Library and Archive.
The Historian in Residence placement within the various areas is one of the best gifts that Dublin City Council could ever give to the people of Dublin... Our Historian in Residence has now become part of our community’s journey of lifelong learning and for that we will be forever gratefulMaria O’Reily of Tenters 100
