About the Project : Historians
To help bring the history to life, children will meet with professional historians who are passionate about Irish history and the history of linen. They will interact with the historian through visits and interviews and email contact.
You can find out about the contributing historians here. If you are an interested historian, or a person passionate about the history of linen in Ireland, and would like to find out how you can participate, please contact us.
