Recorded June 30, 2020. Unlocking the Archives: A Research Showcase
from the Beyond 2022 Project Marking the anniversary of the
terrible fire of June 30th, 1922, which destroyed seven centuries
of Ireland's historical memory, the Beyond 2022 Project presents
"Unlocking the Archives"—a virtual research showcase and panel
discussion on the 98th anniversary of the fire (June 30th, 2020).
Unlocking the Archives Part 1: Hidden Voices. The Beyond 2022
research team is working to reconstruct the collections destroyed
in 1922 and re-imagine them in virtual reality. Join the team as we
discuss our latest archival discoveries from around the world and
demonstrate how technological advancements can recover voices
hidden deep in the historical record. • Saved from the fire: the
National Archives of Ireland Salved Record collection. As
conservation and listing work funded by the Irish Manuscript
Commission progresses, Zoë Reid, Senior Conservator, National
Archives of Ireland, and Dr Paul Dryburgh, Principal Records
Specialist, The National Archives (UK), explain the conservation
challenges in these unique survivors from 1922, and uncover their
fascinating content. • What would you save from the flames? Dr
Sarah Hendriks, Beyond 2022 Research Fellow at The National
Archives (UK), and Dr Timothy Murtagh, Beyond 2022 Research Fellow
of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), tell us
what one thing they wish they could have saved from the 1922 fire
and why, before exploring the detective work involved in locating
partial replacements. • Hidden among the data: the Beyond 2022
Knowledge Graph for Irish History Dr Christophe Debruyne and Dr
Lynn Kilgallon showcase this exciting Computer Science research
strand in Beyond 2022’s work, demonstrating its potential for
changing the questions we can ask of the recovered records. Learn
