Dr Zenobie Garrett (UL) and Dr Niamh NicGhabhann (UL), together with Dr Frances Kane (QUB) from the OS200 project undertook a public engagement residency at Enniskillen Castle Museums from 5-10 September 2023. This residency involved meeting members of the public and sharing the research materials from the project relating to Fermanagh with them through workshops, public lectures, drop-in sessions, and even a Fermanagh-themed table quiz. The residency focused on historic maps, place names, the OS Memoirs and drawings for the Fermanagh area. The residency was a great success, with wonderful opportunities to engage with many different people who had connections to Fermanagh, and who were able to share their own insights and knowledge with the team. The residency also provided the team with opportunities to better understand the functionality that users will require, informing the project website design. The team were very grateful for the welcome given to them by the public, and in particular by local historians and the museum team. A tour on Lough Erne to visit Devenish Island was a highlight for all.
