● Are you interested in the history of the ‘revolutionary decade’ in modern Irish history, 1912-1923?

● Do you have a personal or family connection with the events of those years?

● Do you have any documents (eg official correspondence, private letters, diaries, pictures, etc.), stories or artefacts handed down from this period?

● Would you like to meet and discuss your interests, documents, stories or artefacts with professional archivists and expert historians, in a friendly, informal setting?

● Would you like to meet and chat with other members of the public who share your passion for the events of this decade?

● Would you like to know more about the work of local & national historical groups that specialise in this field, many of which will be present on the day?

● Would your children like to participate in a session of the roadshow specially geared to their interest in this period?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes,

then come along for a day of fun, interesting, local and national history!

Hope to see you there!
