Presentation of Archives Project – not to be missed!
We will be polishing off this successful year with our last major event next
Wednesday, 24th! The event will begin at 7pm in the Tower Rooms 1 and 2
(those who don’t know where these rooms are can meet me outside the Student
Centre at 6:50pm) with a wine reception and a presentation from the Irish
Queer Archives.
Following this, we will move to the Aula Maxima at 8pm where we will be
presenting the finished book of our own LGBT Society’s History from prior to
its official recognition to the present day. The President of UCC, Dr.
Michael Murphy will be giving a speech at this event, as will founder of UCC
LGBT Society, Cathal Kerrigan and first Auditor, Josephine O’ Halloran.
Tonie Walsh from Irish Queer Archives will also be speaking on the night, as
will our very own Tiarnan O’ Sullivan, who was coordinator for our Archives
project this year.
Leaflets with a breakdown of the history will also be given to everyone in
attendance on the night. A lot of work has gone into this project over the
past few months and anybody who is interested in our society’s history our
the history of the LGBT movement in Ireland (or anybody who likes free wine)
would enjoy this event!
I hope to see many of you there and we will be heading out afterwards for
drinks. I would also like to thank those of you who contributed or helped us
out with this project over the last few months – it is very much
appreciated.
Laura.
