From Big Tom to Brexit mockumentaries – our new digital archive captures the artistic legacy of Ireland's border. Borderculture.net was created by a cross-border project: myself and Dr Aisling Reid in Queen's University Belfast, and Professor Eve Patten and Orla Fitzpatrick in Trinity College Dublin. 170 examples of literary and visual culture from and about Ireland's border are featured in the archive ranging from Lisa O’Neill’s No Train To Cavan and Spike Milligan’s Puckoon to Rita Duffy’s United Ireland Tea Towel. Take a look around Ireland's cultural borderland at borderculture.net.

Dear #twitterstorians I got asked for a recommendation for a modern general reader on Irish history (by an Englishman, who was genuinely curious about, but ignorant of Ir.history). Any recommendations? @iaphistorians I'm a bit too deep down the rabbit hole.
