Dr Catherine Porter to deliver the David Chart Annual Map Seminar at the Public Records Office Northern Ireland

Dr Catherine Porter (School of History and Geography, UL) will deliver the David Chart Annual Map Seminar at the Public Records Office Northern Ireland on Thursday 31st October (19.30-20.30).

2024 marks two hundred years since the beginnings of the first Ordnance Survey of Ireland. To mark the bicentenary, the project OS200, co-led by the University of Limerick and Queen’s University Belfast, has been exploring the process(es) of survey and the cultural impacts and legacies of the OS in Ireland during the early nineteenth century. In this seminar, Dr Catherine Porter, the project’s Irish Research Council lead, will illustrate some of the early findings from OS200 and introduce the new online resource housed by Digital Repository Ireland.

You can find out more about OS200 at the project website and access the online resources. The event is online and free to attend. Please register via EventBrite.
