A number of local authorities in Dublin, Kilkenny and Cork have combined to organise an Historic Graveyards Roadshow which will commence in March 2012. Supported by the Department of Arts, Heritage & the Gaeltacht, the Local Authorities and Historic Graves, this roadshow will combine training in heritage conservation, archaeology, local history and genealogy for community groups and schools in a number of communities.
Communities will learn new techniques for surveying historic graveyards and for publishing their own heritage to a broad audience on the internet, combining headstone photographs with audio and video stories of people and place. Local heritage groups, national schools and secondary schools will be involved in the project.
The Dublin leg of the Historic Graveyards Roadshow was supported and funded by the Dublin City Archaeologist Ruth Johnson, Maryann Harris Senior Executive Parks Superintendent and Jackie O'Reilly the Public Domain Officer from Dublin City Council. The roadshow will combine training in heritage conservation, archaeology, local history and genealogy for community groups and schools.
The Historic Graves Roadshow 2012 wishes to acknowledge the financial assistance provided under the Built Heritage element of the Environment Fund by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht towards this project
