This new digital resource is a major collaboration between the Geography Department in UCC and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and will be an invaluable source of public history for current and future generations. Detailed information charting changes in the social, political and economic landscape of pre and post Famine Ireland will be made available to users all over the world for the first time, through the App or by viewing the material online.
Speaking at the ceremony the Tánaiste said:
“The development of the Great Irish Famine Online represents the culmination of a work over a period of years and will represent a major resource for all students of the Great Famine. For the first time, people will be able to view and analyse information charting changes in the social, political and economic landscape of pre and post famine Ireland.”
