If Maps Could Speak was published in late 2010 and is an engaging combination of memoir, history and stories about people and places. In this presentation, Richard Kirwan a former Director of Ordnance Survey Ireland will take the audience behind the scenes into the minds and work of the early map-makers with accounts of their inventions, adventures, endurance and heroism in pre-Famine Ireland...
This free event is for a public audience and is organised as part of Waterford Engineering Week by Calmast at Waterford Institute of Technology in association with Engineers Ireland Southeast Region.
