The event will have several components. From 2 – 5pm the Letters team will be in the Research Skills Teaching Room of the Boole Library (map<\/a>). Here you can meet the team and learn to transcribe a letter. There will be pop-up talks through the afternoon from Donna Alexander<\/a>\u00a0(UCC Digital Arts and Humanities<\/a>), Daniel Breen, (Cork Public Museum<\/a>) and Brian McGee (Cork City and County Archives<\/a>). For a full running order of the afternoon event, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cork launch is also an opportunity for the Letters of 1916 to conduct a collection event in Cork to digitise any letters that you bring along. We are especially interested in letters written between 1 November 1915 and 31 October 1916, and any accompanying photographs of the correspondents. In addition, UCC Library<\/a> archivist, Emer Twomey, will be providing advice on the storage and care of your century-old documents.<\/p>\n

Please join us for a reception in the UCC Staff Dining Room from 5.15 – 6.30pm prior to the evening talks (map<\/a>).<\/p>\n

From 6.30 – 7.30pm, Cr\u00f3n\u00e1n \u00d3 Doibhlin<\/a> from UCC library\u00a0will be delighted to introduce a host of speakers for the launch including John Borgonovo<\/a>, Gabriel Doherty<\/a>, Helene O\u2019Keeffe<\/a> and Susan Schreibman<\/a>. The talks will take place in the Boole Lecture Theatre 2 (map<\/a>) and will include the history of Cork during 1916 as seen through letters from the Letters of 1916 collection.<\/p>\n

The event will be rounded off from 7.45 – 8.30pm with a special session for Secondary School teachers who wish to use 1916-based lesson plans developed for use in Transition Year. 1916 in Transition<\/a> is a collaboration of the Letters 1916 project and the Military Archives of Ireland<\/a> and is funded by the Irish Research Council<\/a> and the Department of Education<\/a>. The lesson plans explore the Easter Rising through the rich archival sources available through the Letters of 1916 project and the Bureau of Military History.<\/p>\n

ALL WELCOME! Drop in any time from 2.00 – 8.30pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n
