In the last week, I've been in Omagh, Dungannon, Enniskillen and Carrickfergus. Next week, Castlewellan, Kilkeel & Carrickfergus again.
Showing people archive film of their home town and listening to their memories is an honour.
And at the moment, the events also include Christmas!

What a fantastic selection of facial hair these men are providing!

We're particularly enjoying the two-toned situation in the top right and the 'only shave the chin' special in the bottom left!

Tens across the board!

Today's theme is .

Lots of times in our free project database of pre-1939 British & Irish railway staff accidents - right around the clock, in fact, as railway work never ceased.

From 00:02 to 23:59, sadly they're all there.

It's - great to celebrate all things archival!

That includes physical - & like our project, digital!

We're making more easily available records of accidents to pre-1939 British & Irish railway staff.

Love this Napoleonic map of Galway Bay, the Shannon estuary and Kinsale. There’s so much detail from where to anchor, where to stock up on wood and from the place names in Irish, English and French. Hours of fun!!!
