Uncovering the stories of Ireland’s Army Barracks, Thursday, March 23, 2023 – 19:00 to 20:00.
This online session will introduce the ‘Our Shared Built Military Heritage’ project, a HEA North South Research Programme funded collaboration between The Open University and University College Dublin which aims to map residential army barracks constructed on the island of Ireland between 1690 and 1921.
This event will be led by co-leads on the project, The Open University’s Dr. Suzanne Forbes and University College Dublin’s Dr. Charles Ivar McGrath.
Throughout this event, you will learn about the history of the barracks network on the island, finding out about the ways the team are working to identify and map these sites. You will be taken on a virtual tour of a selection of barracks in Northern Ireland, showcasing a range of maps, plans and impacts to reflect on the current use and status of these built heritage sites.
