The Dublin Transcription Project is a crowdsourcing project where we work together at transcribing important documents from Dublin’s past and making the contents more accessible to historians, researchers and the general public at large. We are always looking for more people to get involved.

Our monthly webinars will feature occasional guest speakers who can add to our knowledge of the material being transcribed and it’s wider context. Sign up to the Dublin Transcription Week newsletter to be the first to hear about our webinars.  

For our first webinar, we were delighted to welcome Dr. John Montague to speak to us about the Wide Streets Commission.

Dr John Montague is Associate Professor of Architecture, in the College of Architecture, Art and Design, at the American University of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates. He has published on the urban history of Dublin, on John Rocque’s maps, and on Irish architectural history. He has worked as a consultant historian on numerous conservation projects in Ireland. He is doing important research on the works of the Wide Streets Commission, and is currently working on the draft of a book titled The Maps and Drawings of the Wide Streets Commissioners.
