Now that we’re marking the start of a
third month of the ‘new normal’ in relation to Covid-19, the Waterford
Archaeological & Historical Society has devised an Oral History
template that Primary Schools or even families would be interested in using as
a guide over the coming weeks and months. During the current crisis we have
seen numerous creatives inspired to adapt to the current restrictions be it musicians
streaming online concerts to virtual football matches becoming a norm as e-Gamers
become more and more popular.
The subject of History has been no
different with the Director of Waterford Treasures Eamonn McEneaney
regaling the listeners of WLR with the stories of the objects on display
in the city’s fantastic museums to the blogs of Waterford Harbour Tides and
Tails by Andrew Doherty, while his cousin Jim’s twitter feed highlights
stories of piracy and the macabre with dark tales of Ballybricken. History is
for everyone; be it stories of grandparents childhoods, the great hurling
matches of days-gone-by to the progress of video games; there’s something for
everyone.
So why not be inspired to explore your own
historical curiosities and share them with the Waterford Archaeological
& Historical Society! We’ve provided a short template below that can be
used as a guide to get your creative juices going. There are some helpful links
as well.
The best entry will receive a hamper of
books which will include The Towns & Villages of the Waterford Greenway produced
by Waterford County Museum; Waterford City: A History by Cian Manning
and the 2019 edition of the Waterford Archaeological & Historical
Society journal Decies edited by Peigí Devlin. Entries can be
submitted via the Waterford Archaeological & Historical Society Facebook
page or e-mailed to info@waterford-history.org
