From 2017-2018, funding from the Irish Research Council is allowing the project to expand its scope through 1923, covering the Anglo-Irish War, Irish independence, and the Irish Civil War. It is also funding the construction of a new technical framework, from ingestion of new letters to publication to new modalities of text analysis and visualisation.
We are also grateful to Science Foundation Ireland for several years of generous grants through the Discover Research call. These grants have supported our work with teachers, pupils, families and women in schools and community centres across the country.
