Well. That’s what the public engaging with history looks like! Seems half the population of Mohill turned out last night to mark Dr Muldoon’s murder in 1923. Fantastic input from Dr Padraig McGarty, Ken Boyle, @TimDesmond10 and audience. And wait til you see the film! #Mohill

I am overjoyed and so grateful to have been awarded the Galway Doctoral Research Scholarship, which will enable me to pursue a funded PhD @historyatgalway under the supervision of Dr. Róisín Healy. I will be researching pre-Famine Irish lacemaking networks with continental Europe

@uniofgalway A must-add is the collection of letters between Boyle family members from south Leitrim, collected from both sides of the Atlantic by Tom Boyle and Ken Boyle. Dating from 1893, all were scanned, catalogued, transcribed and published privately in 2021 as 'The Boyles of Killaneen'.

Did you know that Ireland had an active anti-vaccination movement? Found in @PRONI_DFC, this Victorian postcard was designed to discourage parents from having their child vaccinated against smallpox. Discover our original research here: tinyurl.com/mpfpp4nw
