About Dublin City Council's Historians-in-Residence
Building on the success of the 2016 centenary commemorations of the 1916 Rising, which saw unprecedented numbers in the City engage with history, 'Dublin Remembers: Is Cuimhin Linn' aims to make history accessible and enjoyable for all. The project involves six historians-in-residence working with the general public, libraries, community groups and schools in Dublin City.
The six historians were appointed in April 2017 and are working on all sorts of history events throughout the city including talks, walks, tours, discussions, history book clubs, blogs, exhibitions and more.
