Historians-in-Residence
Dublin City Council’s historian-in-residence work across the city to talk to people about history and promote its sources and discussion, especially the historical collections in Dublin City Library and Archive.
This public history project began in Spring 2017 and is an initiative of Dublin City Council under the Decade of Commemorations Programme.
The historians work in the five administrative areas of Dublin City Council to make history and historical sources accessible and enjoyable for all. They are:
James Curry – Dublin North West Area
Cormac Moore – Dublin North Central Area
Mary Muldowney – Dublin Central Area
Cathy Scuffil – Dublin South East and South Central Areas
Please feel free to contact any of them at [email protected]
