  • E Archives in 2015
    The Archives and Special The Archives and Special Collections – 2016 Collections – 2016 James Hardiman Library The Archives and Special Collections in 2016 Welcome to the 2016 review of the year for archives and special collections at NUI Galway. This year has seen some very positive developments. They include the increasing profile of our collections nationally and internationally, the commencement of another major digital archive project with the Gate Theatre, the announcement by former President Mary Robinson that she will donate her archive to the University, a national teaching and learning award for engaging Leaving Certificate students with archives, and the donation by the Dominican Convent of its splendid library. We also published an archives strategy to 2020 and an impressive guide to our special collections. Much else has been achieved, as outlined in the James Hardiman Library following pages. Coverage is selective in the interests of brevity and is focused on the wider impact of archives and special collections. The successes reported reflect the creativity and commitment of the staff involved. A key point to note throughout is the importance of partnerships with, for example, the Moore Institute, the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance, and the Arts in Action Programme, in addition to the invaluable advice of the Archives Strategy Committee and strong support from the University Management Team.

  • Irish Soldiers and Desertion in the Ranks of the Eighteenth-Century French Army
    Irish Soldiers and Desertion in the Ranks of the Eighteenth-Century French Army Colm James Ó Conaill The article will begin with a general overview of the Irish regiments in French service during the eighteenth century. The study will focus on those Irish soldiers and their followers who went to France after the defeat of the Catholic forces of James II and the assumption of power by William of Orange. The second part of the study will analyse the phenomenon of military desertion from the ranks of the Irish regiments in French service. The primary sources used, troop registers from the Archives de Guerre (Service Historique de l’Armée de Terre) at Vincennes, provide detailed information on the service record of the soldiers, including their first and last names, the rank of NCOs, and their place of birth. The records also give detailed physical descriptions of the soldiers which often include their height, physical appearance and their hair and eye colour. Crucially, the records also tell us when and why soldiers left the army. The importance of the contrôles de troupe, established after a royal decree of 2 July 1716, cannot be overstated as they leave us a comprehensive record for thousands of Irish migrants as well as for French soldiers in the ranks.1 1. For the establishment of the contrôles de troupe, see André Corvisier, trans. Abigail T. Siddall, Armies and Societies in Europe, 1494-1789 (Bloomington and London, Indiana University Press, 1979), pp. 64-5. See also Colm James Ó Conaill, ‘The Irish Regiments in France.

Yet again, more impressively, in the year 2000, a Festschrift in his honor was issued by the scholarly Irish language publisher, An Clóchomhar, entitled Saoi na hÉigse: Seán Ó Tuama and Irish Gaelic Aistí in Ómós do Sheán Ó Tuama,1 (which means The Sage of Learning: Essays in Homage to Seán Ó Tuama). The contributors to this 378- in the Twentieth Century page volume comprise some of the most distinguished academic commentators in Irish about Irish Gaelic literature and culture. Séamus Blake Seán Ó Tuama’s scholarly acumen, then, is unassailable. In order to elucidate his successes and near-successes, I would like to offer brief accounts of some of the major Irish language writers who were contemporary with Ó Tuama’s career and early life. These accounts about other writers’ careers are not meant to be binary oppositions or interdependent comparisons. They present suggestions rather than being demonstrations of fact. These accounts reveal, I feel, that even though the history of the Revival literature is positive, it is deeply complicated and continues to be contentious. eán Ó Tuama’s impressive role in the Revival of Irish Language 7KHÀUVWZULWHU,ZLOOUHIHUWRLV0iLUWtQÐ&DGKDLQ ² SLiterature, to be appreciated fully, must be viewed within WKHPDMRUSURVHZULWHURI WKHPLGWZHQWLHWKFHQWXU\+LVH[SHULPHQWDO the context of other contemporary twentieth-century Irish novel, Cré na CilleÀUVWSXEOLVKHGLQDQGMXVWDJDLQUHLVVXHG writers’ works.

    Unfinished Business: A New Timeline For The Wartime Experiences Of The Irish Language Community Justin Scannell Master of Arts National University of Ireland, Cork Department of Digital Arts and Humanities September 2016 Head of Department: Professor Brendan Dooley Supervisors: Dr. Orla Murphy, Dr. Shawn Day The CATTUVVIRR Project Table of Contents Declaration 3 Acknowledgements 4 Introduction 5 Literature Review 12 Tools and Methodology 27 Discussion 45 Bibliography 59 Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is my own work and has not been submitted for another degree, either at University College Cork or elsewhere. Signature: Acknowledgements Putting this thesis together, and creating the accompanying digital artefact, has been a challenging process, in the sense that I have had to balance my own heartfelt desire to encourage a broader view of Irish history, whilst at the same time, being mindful of the advice of others to adopt a specialized approach towards doing so. For their advice and assistance in helping me achieve those two (hopefully compatible) goals, I would like to thank the following: First and foremost is Alan Titley – Professor Emeritus of Modern Irish in UCC, and former Head of the Irish Department at St Patrick’s College, DCU – who gave me the idea for this dissertation. Drs. Orla Murphy and Shawn Day of UCC for their patience and forbearance. Professor Padraig Ó Macháin (head of the Department of Modern Irish) also provided me with invaluable suggestions for reading material. Justin Tonra and David Kelly of NUI Galway came up with the timeline idea. Rufus Pollock of TimeMapper showed me how to manipulate the timeline, and made sure that I didn’t always have to look for advice in the forums.

  • Economic History and Demography in the Economic and Social Review
    The Economic and Social Review, Vol. 50, No. 4, Winter 2019, pp. 625-638 Fifty Years a-Growing: Economic History and Demography in The Economic and Social Review Cormac Ó Gráda* University College Dublin Abstract: This paper surveys publications in the fields of economic history and demography in The Economic and Social Review since 1969. Numbering 60 in all, they cover a broad chronological and thematic range. Some of these papers never attracted much notice, but stand as useful sources for future historians. A few have become classics. I ECONOMIC HISTORY AND DEMOGRAPHY ver its half century the ESR has published 60 or so papers on topics in the Ofields of economic history and demography. They are listed chronologically from Walsh (1970) to Walsh (2017) at the end of this paper. Some have since been forgotten; several are still read and still resonate, and a few deserve to be called classics. Not that even the most familiar of them are widely known: according to Google Scholar, of the 60 papers in this category, over one-in-four had been cited fewer than five times by late May 2019. Some were very specialised and of their time. Others deserved more but were ignored, wasting their sweetness on the desert air. Even more galling is that the most cited paper of all (Burda, 1995) is listed on Google Scholar as a University of Stockholm discussion paper (Burda, 1995). Most of the contributors were based in Ireland; they include economists, economic historians, geographers and sociologists. Acknowledgements: Thanks to David Madden for advice and correcting several slips in a draft version.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 4.0 License Recognising Food as part of Ireland’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Abstract Drawing on evidence from across a range of disciplines (literature, folklore, history, sociology etc.) this paper explores the lack of an iconic link between Ireland and food, explaining the reasons why Ireland and food are not immediately linked in the popular imagination. It argues for recognition of foodways as a significant element in Ireland’s intangible cultural heritage. It highlights and interrogates constructs such as ‘national’ and ‘regional’ cuisines, charting the growing scholarship around Irish food history from the ground breaking work of A.T. Lucas and Louis Cullen to a recent emerging cluster of doctoral researchers.

  • LIST III Dublin-2013
    LIST III EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY DUBLIN (HI 4312) Hilary/2013 Duration: one semester Contact Hours p/w: 2 hrs lecture/seminar Weighting: 10 ECTS Prof. David Dickson This semester-long course encourages students to explore the transformation of the city of Dublin between the 1690s and c.1800, spanning the time that it functioned as the parliamentary capital of the country and as a centre of upper-class resort, rivaled only by London within the English-speaking world. The course serves as an introduction to the comparative study of urban history, but the focus remains firmly on the city itself, on its problems of growth, on the development of the public sphere, and on the opening out of politics from Parliament House to guild- hall, tavern and the street itself. The course is organized around a close analysis of some ten moments in the history of the eighteenth-century city -- political, architectural, literary and scandalous. These ten events have been chosen as starting-points from which to explore broader themes and processes of change, and hopefully they will also provide inspiration for major essay topics. Students will be required [a] to take part in one collaborative tutorial presentation in the course of the term on a pre-arranged topic and subsequently to submit a paper of appx. 1,000 words based on the presentation, drawing from the menu of topics listed below; and [b] to complete one essay from the menu of topics listed below; the essay must be no more than 3,000 words in length, and must delivered to the Departmental Office on the date as given in the Departmental Handbook.
