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.
New Voices in Irish and Scottish speakers for Autumn 2024 are now confirmed. We have brilliant new work on unruly Edinburgh women, Irish writers in The New Yorker, Gaelic magazines and Irish Rock music. Join the fun!

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.
It's not all about archives! Buildings and objects @ufm_cultra will also be examined as part of our CDP studentship with @LeicsMusStud, funded by @ahrcpress. For further details, please visit: le.ac.uk/rcmg/current-news. Deadline 20th May 2024! ⏰
