School - Educational Resource Packs

We have created 2 school/educational resource packs intended for teachers, and students.

Great Famine Facsimile Pack

The Archives has digitised a resource pack on the Great Famine in Cork. The pack was originally produced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the Famine in 1845, and was funded by Cork County Council. (For school use, we recommend printing this on A3 sized paper)
