Delighted to finally share I will be starting as Historian and Archives Manager with the Dublin Cemeteries Trust, based in Glasnevin Cemetery shortly. This is my favourite place in Dublin and being able to write about its history and significance in Irish history is exciting.

The Dublin Diocesan archive is superb. One of the reasons is Noelle Dowling. Today, I came with mixed emotions as Noelle finishes and moves onto a new adventure in the archives world on Friday. she has done so much for so many researchers in a friendly and generous spirit.
