Ardfert Historical Society is putting on an art exhibition during Heritage Week. It is the work of a local man named Mickie Cavan
who died in 1996 at the age of 80. We have collected his art work and poems from the local community and plan to exhibit it during Heritage week from August 14th to 22nd in Ardfert Cathedral. The exhibition is free but a Brochure containing his work will be available to buy for 10 euro. I will attach one of his painting.
Ardfert Historical Society also hosts Summer Walks from June to September.
Our next free walk is on the 28th of July around the Village.
On August 4th there will be a walk from Banna Sea Rescue to Casement’s Monument.
On August 18th a walk from Casement’s Fort to the village.
On August 25th a walk at Ardfert Franciscan Friary.
On September 15th there will be a Village Walk.
It would be great if we could advertise it through the Federation and we would love to get details of other Historical Societies’ events.
Best Wishes

Good morning
We, the Irish Ancestry Research Centre, recently contacted you to inform you of the Certificate in History of the Family & Genealogical Methods, which is available online and accredited by the University of Limerick. (Details can be found at www.irisharc.org). The certificate is a level 6 course and genealogy is taught in an interdisciplinary manner, where we incorporate various aspects of history, geography, folklore, architecture, politics, religion and regional studies. Classes take place fortnightly with monthly field-trips that compliment these classes.
We would be grateful if you could let others know about the Certificate course.
Thank you for your time.

Historical Walk n Talk.
Community Historian Brendan Matthews will present a Walk n Talk on Wednesday evening next, July 20th beginning at St. Peter`s Church of Ireland, Peter Street at 7.30pm. Brendan will elaborate on the origins and history of St. Peter`s Church and the surrounding graveyard before moving through the area called the Alleys and the unique and secluded `Widows Houses`. The Walk will then proceed over William Street into King St. where the history of the Art Deco Technical School of the mid 1930`s will be outlined. The Walk n talk will then move along down Palace Street and cross over into Francis Street approaching St. Laurence medieval Town Gate from its exterior, before passing through the Gate where the evening will be brought to a close in upper Laurence Street and the demise of the former Grammar School and the beautiful surrounding street architecture of the 18th century.
