Heritage at Home

Another great Shared History Project has been organised by Libraries NI with a look at the ongoing Centenary of Partition and its Impact. You can always learn more about this and all aspects of our history at your local library. Friendly staff with a passion for books will help you find a level to begin your learning journey. With more and more support for BME communities we will be encouraging research visits to local libraries as part of our ongoing project.

Following the success of last year’s Heritage from Home series of online talks, Libraries NI is organising a second series this autumn and winter. Heritage from Home 2 will run from October 2021 to mid-March 2022. The talks have been made possible through the Shared History Fund with money from The Northern Ireland Office allocated by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

In this centenary year, the programme will focus more specifically on the social context, historical events and impact on people and institutions of the creation of Northern Ireland, but will also more generally explore how life in Northern Ireland and border areas has evolved within the last 100 years. The aim will be to provide a critical look at the last century from a variety of perspectives, through talks by speakers with different backgrounds and interests (History, Politics, Architecture, Genealogy, the Arts and Museums and Archives).

All these events will be delivered via Zoom and can be followed on PC, laptop, iPad and on most smartphones.

Professor Elizabeth Crooke – “Give us our share of the pictures”: Museums, Partition and the Establishment of Northern Ireland	02/03/2022 12:30 PM	Heritage From Home
Event Details When Northern Ireland emerged out of the Government of Ireland Act national cultural assets, predominantly based in Dublin, were now ‘lost’ to the six counties. Dublin, as a significant capital city, was adorned with magnificent cultural and public buildings, statues, gardens, and museums. For the Unionist negotiators of the partition era the fact that these national institutions were now south of the border was a barrier to their use and relevance. Instead, they choose to negotiate in respect to the assets and, in the period after partition, build their own cultural institutions. This paper explores how a debate about collections in museums, that was initially a concern about finance and administration, becomes an argument about representation, identity, and political autonomy.
