History of the City of Dublin Research Group
Professor David Dickson
Dr Lisa-Marie Griffith • Introduction •Events • Listings•
The History of the City of Dublin Research Group was formed in 2008 with initial funding from the TCD Centre for Irish-Scottish and Comparative Studies. A call was published seeking information on current research on any aspect of post-medieval Dublin, and out of that exercise a listing of individuals and institutions actively working on Dublin has been put together. To date this includes forty-six individuals and institutions from across Ireland and Britain. The listing brings together those working as archivists, librarians, lecturers, post-graduates, post-doctoral fellows and researchers in the fields of Archaeology, English Studies, Geography and History.
The research group’s aims are:
• To maintain this electronic listing of research on the history and development of post-medieval Dublin, and to update it on a regular basis;
• To publicize and on occasion to organize events relating to the history of the post-medieval city;
• To promote and encourage research on post-medieval Dublin, and to facilitate communication and collaboration between researchers across the disciplines to this end.
The research grouporganizers invite anyone not on the attached listing who is working on any aspect of the development of Dublin after 1500 to contribute their contact and research details. If you would like to so, you can download the attached form and send this to griffitl@tcd.ie for inclusion on this webpage and for updates on events.
The History of the City of Dublin Research Group is organised by Prof. David Dickson and Dr. Lisa-Marie Griffith.
