Creative Ireland Workshops, September 2021: The Blarney Street Revolutionaries
(Registration now closed)
Aimed principally at adults the history and archives workshops offer the opportunity to learn and engage with unique archival collections from Cork history in the 1912 to 1923 period. The theme of these workshops is 'The Blarney Street Revolutionaries', with particular focus on the lives of Tadhg Barry (1880-1921) and Diarmaid Fawsitt (1884-1967).
About the Workshops
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from expert historians, artists, and archivists about the 1912-1923 revolutionary period. Participants will learn about researching at the archives, where to source secondary information, and how to interpret historical documents. Historical topics considered will include an examination of the contributions of Barry and Fawsitt to Ireland's fight for independence, and the wider social and economic history of the city and the revolutionary period.
