A key aim of our group is promoting/supporting local residents research and interpretation of local heritage. Martin O' Brien recently created this amazing scale model of an old summer house in Crumlin from a 1795 F. Jukes print. Models can be viewed at the upcoming launch.

@restlesscurator says there are more articles on Paris, France on Wikipedia than on the whole continent of Africa. Events like today are important for addressing the imbalance of content on the internet

Mary says photographs are particularly important and gives you a feeling of who people were and what they wore. Mary mentions the photographic collections of @dubcilib Census records are also important.

What resources are important for historical novelists? Mary Morrisy says the first-hand account is the most important resource and that you are not usually writing the big event, you are writing the small events against which the backdrop of large events is happening.

Mary Morrisy opening up our 'Writing the City of Literature' hackathon. She writes bio fiction. Mary says her primary interest is character and once she has found that and written their story she fills it in with the world they would have lived in and gets interested in history.

You could also suggest a Dublin novel that needs a Wikipedia entry to inspire our group of attendees!
