SUMMARY:Culture Night
DESCRIPTION: \nThis year’s culture night takes place on the 22 September. Culture night is an annual all-island public event that celebrates culture\, creativity and the arts. The James Hardiman Library is holding an evening of talks and an exhibition to celebrate culture. The focus of the talks is on community development with the focus on materials from the Muintir na Tíre collection as well as volumes from the 19th century printed collections. \nThe James Hardiman Library’s collections hold a rich source of material on local and community studies. In the archives we have collections from The Abbey Theatre\, The Gate Theatre\, Professor Kevin Boyle\, Brendan Duddy\, Ritchie-Pickow\, Éamon de Buitléar\, Tim Robinson and Druid Theatre company to name but a few. The James Hardiman Library has recently acquired the archive of Muintir na Tíre\, a national voluntary organisation dedicated to promoting the process of community development. A series of blogs have been written about the work to date of making the collection accessible for researchers. \nThe Muintir na Tíre talk will look at Rural Ireland and Landmark two publications of Muintir na Tíre and discuss how they promoted community development before and after the United Nations definition in 1958. These will also be on display in the exhibition. Community development in Galway and the West of Ireland will be discussed as well during the talk. Much earlier attempts at community development in Galway will be addressed in the talk on James Hardiman and his involvement with organisations such as the Royal Galway Institution. \nVenue: Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building \nTalks: \n18.30: “Muintir na Tíre Periodical literature”.  Speaker: Fiona Kearney\, Archivist \n19.30: “James Hardiman\, historian of Galway” Speaker: Marie Boran\, Special Collections Librarian \nWe hope you can come along and join us for the evening \n
