If, like me, you love the history of Dublin, there are several talks of interest including Dublin’s street names, housing and suburban development, city-centre shopping, tenement living, the docklands and childhood street games. Bringing the Decade of Commemorations theme into 2018, there are talks on the 1918 Armistice which ended the First World War, James Connolly, the sinking of the RMS Leinster and exhibitions, walks and lectures on women’s suffrage, women’s vote, 1918 General Election and Countess Markievicz election. Dublin City Council’s Historians in Residence will lead walks around various parts of the city and they challenge you to take part in the Decade of Commemorations Quiz to test your history knowledge. As always the variety of international history is exceptional with opportunities to learn about the Third Reich, the Romanovs, Franklin’s Arctic expedition, the Ukraine under Joseph Stalin, and the life of Thomas Cromwell. I invite you to listen, participate and enjoy. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh go leir taitneamh as an gclár Nial Ring Lord Mayor of Dublin Forewords 2 féile na staire baile átha cliath City Librarian Foreword When we started this Festival in 2013, our aim was to make history more accessible by offering a wide range of interesting history topics, presented by excellent communicators, so that you can get an insight into a piece of history in an entertaining and informative way. We think we’ve succeeded in this aim over the past five years and in this, our 6th Festival, we bring you a record number of events. In keeping with our approach since the first year, we bring you history in many different eras, genres and geographies: from international history to local history, from quizzes and maps, to topics as diverse as shipwrecks, poverty, street play, Georgian era shopping, and even Johnny Cash. We’re bringing international historians to Dublin, and bringing Irish historians and their research to a wider audience, showcasing new writings and scholarship on a variety of history topics. The Festival also provides a platform for the City Council to highlight its work, and I am delighted that as well as library and archives staff, we have colleagues from archaeology; the Arts Office; Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane; the Mansion House; heritage services; Richmond Barracks; City Hall; 14 Henrietta Street, and the historians in residence all taking part. I am also delighted to welcome new external partners to our Festival this year, broadening the range, scope and diversity of the programme and opening up to new audiences. With a record number of 140 events taking place in venues around the City and suburbs - all free of charge! - this is our biggest Festival yet, and we look forward to seeing history-lovers old and new join us in our celebration of Dublin as a City of History & Heritage.

It has been accepted for inclusion in BYU Family Historian by an authorized editor of BYU ScholarsArchive. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. RESEARCHING HUGUENOT SETTLERS IN IRELAND1 VIVIEN COSTELLO PREAMBLE This study is a genealogical research guide to French Protestant refugee settlers in Ireland, c. 1660–1760. It reassesses Irish Huguenot settlements in the light of new findings and provides a background historical framework. A comprehensive select bibliography is included. While there is no formal listing of manuscript sources, many key documents are cited in the footnotes. This work covers only French Huguenots; other Protestant Stranger immigrant groups, such as German Palatines and the Swiss watchmakers of New Geneva, are not featured. INTRODUCTION Protestantism in France2 In mainland Europe during the early sixteenth century, theologians such as Martin Luther and John Calvin called for an end to the many forms of corruption that had developed within the Roman Catholic Church. When their demands were ignored, they and their followers ceased to accept the authority of the Pope and set up independent Protestant churches instead. Bitter religious strife throughout much of Europe ensued. In France, a Catholic-versus-Protestant civil war was waged intermittently throughout the second half of the sixteenth century, followed by ever-increasing curbs on Protestant civil and religious liberties.3 The majority of French Protestants, nicknamed Huguenots,4 were followers of Calvin.

  • Cumann Na Mban: During the Easter Rising
    Cumann na mBan: During the Easter Rising Dylan Savoie Junior Division Individual Documentary Process Paper: 500 words Once I learned about National History Day, I immediately wanted to do something related to my Irish heritage seeing as my mother was born in Ireland. In my research, I found the Easter Rising. Now that I had narrowed my selection down, I began to dig deeper, and I came across an Irish women's group, Cumann na mBan, that helped greatly in the Rising but has gone largely unnoticed in history. I tried to have a wide range of research. First, I began by searching for a video about Cumann na mBan. I had found an RTE documentary on the Easter Rising of 1916. It was in that documentary that I came across Fr. Oliver Rafferty, a professor at Boston College. I was able to obtain his email address, contact him, and we had a phone interview. I searched websites and books at my local and Boston Public Library, taking notes and citing them in Noodletools as I went. The Burns Library at Boston College has the most extensive Irish History collection outside of Ireland, so in January, I went there too and was able to obtain many primary sources. In February, I went to Boston College and interviewed Fr. Rafferty in person. I was able to talk with him and combine what I had learned in my research to understand my topic in more depth than I had before. After I collected my research, I decided that my project would be best represented in the form of a documentary.

Reviewed by Richard Butler (University of Leicester)Published on H-Albion (January, 2021) Commissioned by Douglas Kanter (Florida Atlantic University) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55815 This book offers a political history of Dublin Corporation between the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act of 1840 and the expansion of the city’s electorate and its boundaries at the end of the century. In thirteen short chapters, James H. Murphy gives a narrative account of the key personalities involved and the various topics that occupied debates, ranging from grandstanding over loyal addresses to Queen Victoria to the glacial speed at which major social problems, such as sanitation, were tackled by a largely uninterested elite. Many readers will be familiar with the author’s two major studies of nineteenth-century Irish nationalism in the context of “the institutions of constitutional affinity”—Abject Loyalty: Nationalism and Monarchy in Ireland during the Reign of Queen Victoria (2001) and Ireland’s Czar: Gladstonian Government and the Lord Lieutenants of the Red Earl Spencer, 1868-86 (2014)—and as he explains in the introduction, this volume was initially planned as the final volume of that trilogy. Murphy notes that his working hypothesis was that Dublin Corporation, “the most important and prestigious deliberative body in Ireland,” could be understood as Ireland’s “little civic parliament” (a phrase associated with the “Repeal” debates), in the absence of a national parliament after the Act of Union.
