In just ve years, Waterford’s historic core has been transformed into a vibrant cultural district, and the only museum district on the island of Ireland. A clear indicator of the project’s success can be found in the number of signicant dona- tions to Waterford Treasures Museums, which speaks to the high regard in which the initia- tive is held. These donations memorably include an extensive, exceptional collection of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Irish clocks and watches. The proposed development of a new museum to the science and the story of marking and keeping time in Ireland is one which I support whole-heartedly. The Irish Museum of Time will tell the story of the technological advances in the making and marking of time in Ireland which kept the country apace with developments on continental Europe. In addi- tion, the museum aims to advance an interest in the sciences in Ireland, particularly among young people. Its development will bring additional historic buildings within the Viking Triangle into public use: the fteenth-century Almshouse and the nineteenth-century Greyfriars Church built within the curtilage of the substantial ruins of the former thirteenth-century Franciscan Friary. Coming as I do from a long line of Waterford natives I support this development enthusiasti- cally. I encourage you to add your support to this ambitious project, which aims to establish a world-class visitor attraction in the heart of our community. This new development will help further Waterford in its bid to become the leading cultural centre on the island of Ireland.

  • Volume 4 2009
    CITY TECH WRITER Volume 4 2009 Outstanding Student Writing From All Disciplines Jane Mushabac, Editor in Chief Cover: “Keyboard” by Jessica Hernandez Art Director: Lloyd Carr New York City College of Technology City University of New York Preface What’s it like being an x-ray technologist at the Hospital for Joint Diseases? What’s it like seeing your uncle on an old I Love Lucy show with Desi Arnaz? What’s it like being from Cameroon and the Bronx? What’s it like in a Chinese bakery? What was it like watching CNN on Election Night 2008? The student writers of City Tech Writer Volume 4 share their pleasure in new technologies and their memory of old dances. They celebrate thermodynamics—and family resilience. They bring thoughtful questions to bear on predatory lending, faulty $50 nylon slings, and a bedbug epidemic in New York. They’re grateful for the words of Descartes and Florence Nightingale, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Oscar Hijuelos, Toni Morrison and Ha Jin. As always, the juxtaposition of writing from different disciplines and a variety of cultures and moments in time reminds us of City Tech’s great span of interest in our world. Reader, don’t just hold this book in hand. Read it and be enlightened, provoked, and amused. I want to thank the faculty throughout the college who inspired fine writing, and selected and submitted nearly two hundred fifty pieces of best writing from their students; Professors Mary Ann Biehl and Nasser McMayo whose ADV 4700 students produced sixty appealing cover designs; Graphic Arts Program Director Lloyd Carr who, as before, coordinated the graphics, instructing and leading GRA 4732 students and GRA 3513 students respectively in formatting and printing the cover; and Prof.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
