2017 was an exciting year for the archives and special
collections at NUI Galway. The collections featured in many publications by
staff from this University and elsewhere and also featured in many exhibitions,
seminars and in a range of teaching programmes. They stimulated connections
with major institutions worldwide, brought distinguished visitors to the campus
and attracted media coverage. Outreach activities, cataloguing and digital
innovation all extended the local and global reach of the collections. Major
new additions have further strengthened our holdings in areas such as the Irish
language, the Northern Ireland Troubles, left-wing politics and local history.
All of these developments are captured in an annual report, The
Archives and Special Collections in 2017. Professor Daniel Carey, Director
of the Moore Institute and Chair of the Archives Strategy Committee, will
launch the report.
This event will also mark the generous donation of rare issues of the Connaught Journal newspaper by Ronnie O’Gorman.
Speakers:
Marie Boran, Special Collections Librarian
Dr. Elizabeth Tilley, English
Dr. John Cunningham, History
