DESCRIPTION:Venue: Room G011\, Hardiman Research Building\, NUI Galway. \nA lunchtime seminar that takes the listener through the story of Tim Robinson\, his archive\, and plans to open it up to the community and collaborate digitally\, followed by an open floor discussion with members of the audience. \nPanelists: Mr Peter Corrigan (James Hardiman Library\, NUI Galway)\, Dr Nessa Cronin (Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway)\, Ms Aisling Keane (James Hardiman Library\, NUI Galway). \nPlaces for this event are limited\, and allocated on a first come first served basis. To book a seat please reserve through the link here\, and further details available below: \nhttp://nuigarchives.blogspot.ie/2016/10/digital-publishing-brownbag-series-tim.html \nOn Tuesday 1 November\, NUI Galway Library will host a lunchtime event focusing on Digital work underway on the Library’s Archives. \nOur 2nd event in the series will focus on the Archive of Fear na Mapaí\, Tim Robinson\, which resides here at NUI Galway. This archive documents four decades of Robinson’s pioneering work in Irish landscape\, which began in 1972 when he visited the Aran Islands with his wife Máiréad. His 1975 one-inch map of the Aran Islands was the first substantial map of the area to be created since the 6 inch Ordnance Survey map a century before\, and its composition brought up several complexities that exist in this unique landscape\, from place-names\, to the geological\, archaeological\, and botanical features that are all inherent in the landscape. Beyond the publication of the map\, he explored these subjects in a deep-mapping project of Aran\, that led to the publication of two books\, ‘Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage’ in 1986\, and later ‘Stones of Aran: Labyrinth’ in 1995. His work brought him to map and consider the Burren and Connemara landscapes with equal emphasis\, and in 1987\, Tim and Máiréad won the Ford Ireland Conservation Award. They proceeded in the competition as Ireland’s official entry\, and won the European Award in Madrid. \nOne particularly special element of Robinson’s archive is a meticulously accumulated index of the townlands of Connemara and the Aran Islands\, which has inspired the Library’s first steps to a Digital Mapping project\, focusing on Robinson’s archive\, but with applications to future projects. This will be the focus of our inaugural Brownbag Pitch. As the name suggests\, lunch will be provided\, and we will take you through the story of the archive\, the digital project\, and plans for the future\, before opening up the floor to some discussion about what parts of the project you consider useful\, not useful\, and if you think this has applications to your own research. \nEveryone is welcome to the pitch\, and registration is free\, but for catering purposes\, we would request that you please register\, with details of how to do so at the bottom of this page. \n  \nProgramme:\n12:00 Lunch will be available from 12 in Room G011 \n12:30 Dr Nessa Cronin\, Lecturer and Director of the MA in Irish Studies\, will introduce the work of Tim Robinson \n12:40 Aisling Keane\, Digital Archivist at NUI Galway Library\, will speak about the archive\, its contents\, some examples of items of interest\, and the work that has taken place on the archive so far \n13:00 Dr Nessa Cronin will return to speak about creative engagement with the archive \n13:10 Peter Corrigan\, Head of Digital Publishing and Innovation at NUI Galway Library will speak about the future of the project \n13:25 Discussion and exchange of ideas \n14:00 Session Ends\na
