RTÉ Dramatisations

In 2019 the Military Archives collaborated with the RTÉ History Show on a 10-part special series on the War of Independence. As part of this collaboration the Military Archives commissioned the dramatisation of a selection of testimonies from the Bureau of Military History and the Military Service Pensions Collection. These recordings help to bring to life the words and experiences of some of the people who were alive and active during this very significant period in Irish history, and may be of particular interest to secondary school history teachers as a teaching aid to their curriculum.

Uinseann MacEoin Publications

Uinseann MacEoin was a veteran republican, architect, planner, journalist and campaigner for the conservation of Georgian built heritage. In 2016 his family donated his private research recordings and papers - the Uinseann MacEoin Collection - to the Military Archives.

As part of this we have digitised two of his publications – ‘Survivors’ and ‘The IRA in the Twilight Years 1923-1948’ to accompany this material as research aids.

As part of the ongoing task of engaging with both members of the public and members of the Defence Forces, Military Archives will publish numerous documents chronicling an event or a series of events from our past.
