\"IMG_8740\"The Letters of 1916\u00a0team invites you to a\u00a0hands-on practical workshop in which you\u00a0will have the opportunity to engage in a key aspect of the Letters of 1916 project \u2013 that of uploading letters to the database.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

We have about 60 letters related to\u00a0Cork in 1916 for upload (from Cork Public Museum<\/a> and UCC Special Collections<\/a>). \u00a0We will be\u00a0asking participants to drop in any time during the afternoon to conduct some historical research, before adding the letters and their associated metadata to our system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We also invite anyone who owns a letter between 1 November 1915 and 31 October 1916, to bring it, and any accompanying photographs of the correspondents to the event where it can be digitised.\u00a0UCC Library<\/a> archivist, Emer Twomey, will be on hand to provide\u00a0advice on the storage and care of your century-old documents.<\/div>\n
