Dublin City Council has appointed six Historians in Residence who worked across the city throughout 2026 and 2027, Katie Blackwood, James Curry, Antonia Hart, Elizabeth Kehoe, Caitlin White and Lorcan McEvoy.
Each historian developed a tailored programme through talks, workshops, guided walks, research collaborations and creative community projects.
Lord Mayor of Dublin Councillor Ray McAdam shared “Strong, connected communities are at the heart of Dublin’s success. The Historians in Residence programme helps people come together, share their stories, and build a deeper understanding of the places they call home.”
“By encouraging people to come together and engage with the past, the initiative helps deepen understanding, build a sense of belonging, and reinforce the social fabric that underpins a thriving city.”
