Join us on April 10 for a Guinness Archive Event: Everyday Women   The Guinness Archive is hosting Everyday Women: Irish women in archival sources, a one-day conference at the Guinness Storehouse exploring the stories of Irish women from the late 1700s through to the 1900s. The event will bring together archivists, historians, and those interested in discovering the history of Irish women both at home and abroad.   There is a difficulty in sourcing archive material for women’s history outside of the great and the good. This event aims to enhance the visibility of resources for the lives of Irish women. The event will be the first of its kind to take place in the Guinness Storehouse on Thursday, 10 April.   Everyday Women will feature prominent historians in the field and archive professionals discussing the female experience in Irish society and the challenges archivists and historians face in tracing their stories.    The expert panel of speakers include Professor Ciara Breathnach (University College Cork), Professor Elaine Farrell (Queen’s University Belfast) and Professor Leanne McCormick (Ulster University) of the Bad Bridget’s Project, Dr Lisa Griffith (Digital Repository of Ireland), Leanne Harrington (Guinness Archive), and Emma Rothwell (Royal Irish Academy).   Speakers will delve into topics including the ‘Bad Bridget’ stories of Irish women who emigrated to North America, women in the workplace in Ireland, the work of Charlotte Brooke, collections for women’s history in the Digital Repository of Ireland and female publicans from 1860 to 1960.   The event is free of charge and a small number of tickets are available here: https://lnkd.in/e2T6SzCP.
