The fourth Eoin MacNeill Lecture which was to have taken place this week has been postponed until May 2022. It is hoped that by that time the public health situation will have improved and holding a public lecture will be a more realistic proposition.
We very much look forward to welcoming Professor Jordanova, Emeritus Professor of History and Visual Culture at the University of Durham, who will give a lecture entitled ‘Lives in archives’. The lecture is a fascinating look at alternative sources for history to be found in archives, objects such as portraits and even handbags as records of people’s lives as lived through the centuries.
