IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR FEDERATION MEMBERS

FEDERATION MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL 2024

In order to control and keep our membership details up to date we had requested members to renew their 2024 membership and pay the annual fee by the end of March 2024.

This is important for a number of reasons.

It keeps us up to date with contact details thus ensuring that we can keep in touch accurately with members in offering our services.

It is also very important to us financially. We have no other source of income other than a small revenue we get from the sale of some journals.

We need the membership income to keep our heads financially above water.

There are a considerable number of societies who have yet to renew their 2024 membership.

We would ask societies who have not yet renewed if they would do so at their earliest convenience.

Any society or individual who have already renewed their membership can ignore this message.

Attached is a membership renewal form and we would appreciate it if you returned it with your remittance as the contact details it contains are important.

Thanks for your support, we look forward to hearing from you, so that we can continue to offer you the service you deserve.

Take care
Larry  Breen  PRO FLHS

Kildare historians rally

All County Kildare historians – and even those with a passing interest – are invited to a history rally in Kilcullen Heritage Centre on Saturday morning (19 October).
The event hosted by the Co Kildare Federation of Local HIstory Societies brings historians from throughout the county together to update the public on the latest research. The programme begins at 1000 in the Heritage Centre and Theatre in Main Street, Kilcullen with a presentation by Kill native Noel Cocoman on the topical letters of John Devoy.  This year marks the centenary of Devoy’s return to his native area of Kill and Naas after years in exile in the United States where he was the chief agent of Irish republicanism.

Later there will be a dazzling presentation by Sean Sourke who has mastered the techniques of 3-D photogrammetry to show County Kildare landmarks in a way never seen before.  The morning will conclude with bite-sized reports from the history groups in the county from Celbridge in the north to Castledermot in the south giving updates on their vigorous programmes of talks and walks helping locals discover the stories that make the Short-Grass county such a fascinating place in which to live.

(4)  Co Kildare  – Rathangan  – Imaging Ireland

Imagining Ireland.
The Old Schoolhouse.
Saturday Oct 12th. 10 – 1pmAlthough the Easter Rising is sometimes referred to as the ‘Poet’s Revolution,’ with three poets – Pearse, McDonagh, and Plunkett – signing the Proclamation, they were not the only ones to have ‘dreams of Ireland.’  The years leading up to 1916 were a period of intense cultural activity where poets, writers, and painters,  imagined  and re-imagined what an Independent Ireland would look like.
In what has become known as his ‘comely maidens’ speech, de Valera conjured up an image of Ireland as rural, frugal and Catholic – a place where women were confined to the home, and where there was little tolerance for dissenting voices.  It  was not the Ireland that so many had fought, suffered and died for.in Disappointed Revolutionaries Historian John Dorney will examine the Ireland the revolutionaries dreamed of and how they came to terms with their disappointment.
In Where Stands the Republic Author Paul O’Brien will show where Sean O’Casey’s works fits in the imagining of a new Ireland,and how O’Casey’s later work highlighted how the new State betrayed the promise of the revolutionary period.
In No Place for  Equality, the focus will be on the life and work Rathangan’s Maura Laverty, with Dr Morgan Wait exploring Laverty’s experience in an Ireland hostile to woman and to critical voices.
This is a free event funded by Kildare Co. Co. and Creative Ireland.
Places are limited, to book – Email Rathangan2024@gmail.com

(5)  Co  Cork  – Duchas Clonakilty Heritage – Talks

We have two events in October that may be of interest to you:

Firstly, on Thursday October 10th, best-selling author Michael Smith will deliver a lecture on Tom Crean. You may remember that he gave a lecture last October on Munster’s Antarctic Explorers, which many people missed due to a very bad storm and flooding that occurred on the night. Hopefully, this October we won’t have a repeat of that severe weather event and you will have the opportunity to enjoy what promises to be an excellent presentation on his return visit.

Secondly, on Saturday October 19th, we will have a whole day celebration of West Cork Flax, which will include interactive talks, flax displays and heritage skills demonstrations, coordinated by Flax enthusiast Kathy Kirwan. Again, you may remember that she gave an excellent talk on West Cork Flax last April, which was highly interesting and informative.

More detail on both events to follow shortly – save the dates!

(5)  Co Dublin  – Latin Inscriptions of Ireland

Hi there, I write to ask if you might consider helping me to publicize a new project of mine to your members, ‘Latin Inscriptions of Ireland’. It invites people around the country to take a picture of some Latin in their local area and send it in for inclusion in an online gallery. I’d be very grateful for any help you might be able to give, and include a link to the website here: https://latin-inscriptions-ireland.squarespace.com/

see below

As a Latin teacher I’m always interested to come across bits of Latin on streets and facades, in churches and buildings. It strikes me that there must be a considerable number of ‘Latin inscriptions’ across the island of Ireland, ranging from the permanent and well-known (like Swift’s epitaph in St. Patrick’s Cathedral) to the temporary and transient (slogans, graffiti, and the like). My project invites members of the public to send in photos of bits of Latin they may come across in their local areas, and so to help compile a free, online database called ‘Latin Inscriptions of Ireland’. The project has just started, and I would very much appreciate if you could have a look at the website, spread the word, and perhaps consider submitting a photo.

Thank you. Charlie Kerrigan, Assistant Professor in Latin, TCD.

Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kerrigan

(7)  Co Dublin – History Talks  – Local Industries
Dear Larry,
I came across your name on the Federation of Local History Societies webpage.

I’ve recently published a book on Irish industries over the period 1922-1972 with Oxford University Press (further details below) and have recently been awarded a grant to deliver talks on local industries around the country.  Those that I’ve done so far have generally been organised by local libraries, but I wanted to let you know that if any local history societies are interested, I’d be very willing to oblige.  Any expenses involved would be covered by my grant so there would be no cost involved.

What I generally do is speak about the main local industries in the county and the particular firms involved, all set in the context of what was happening at the national and local levels.

Please feel free to provide my email address to anyone who might be interested.

With best wishes
Frank Barry
