Description

This is the inaugural workshop of Death and Burial Data: Ireland 1864-1922 (DBDIrl). It is generously supported by an Irish Research Council Laureate Award. This workshop focuses on Historical Data and how historians interrogate, model and use it. We are delighted to welcome Professor Lucia Pozzi from the University of Sassari as our keynote speaker and colleagues from the General Register Office, who will speak about their experiences of conserving, preserving and making accessible the historical Irish Civil Registration data.
