Introduction to Researching Local History (adults and ages 15+)

Have you ever wanted to find out more about the history of your local area? Join historian Dr Declan Brady to learn how to do your own local history research.

Each week will cover different ways of finding information about the people and places of your neighbourhood in times past. You will learn where to find information in existing archives, registries and records and how to write up your research. You will also learn how to find local history from other sources such as religious, business and military records, newspapers, maps, photographs and even music and song. This will be a fascinating journey for anyone interested in finding out more about their local area.
