Less than two weeks left to come see 'Celebrating 180 Years: University College Cork in Society' @ucclibrary! Come on in and learn a little more about the university's history and travel back in time to see how lectures used to be delivered using a Magic Lantern projector. #uccHistory #uccLibrary

Interior of a modern exhibition gallery featuring a large blue display panel titled “180 Bliain ar an bhFód: Celebrating 180 Years: University College Cork in Society.” The panel showcases historic documents, seals, and a medal mounted on a white backing. To the right, a wall timeline highlights key dates, and a bold red panel titled “Research & Innovation” presents text and images about institutional developments. The space has white walls, track lighting, and a polished dark floor.

Museum display case featuring historical scientific instruments and records. On the left, a brass and black instrument with a circular gauge is arranged in a wooden presentation box. On the right, a large open ledger book rests on foam supports, its lined pages filled with handwritten entries and numerical tables. Small printed labels and a descriptive placard stand behind the objects inside the glass case.

A museum display case containing vintage surveying and optical instruments. On the right is a large, early theodolite with a telescope mounted on a circular base and various adjustment knobs. To the left is a smaller, box-shaped optical device with a short lens. Both pieces appear to be made of metal with brass components. Red informational panels are visible in the background outside the glass case.

The object features a large polished brass lens mounted on a dark metal body with a small circular viewing window and hinged panel. Red exhibition panels with historic photographs and text are visible in the background, along with overhead lighting reflected in the glass.

Great review of the 'Atlas of the Irish Civil War' in the Sunday Independent. Thanks to reviewer Emily Hourican. ' ... it does an excellent job of telling the known story of the Irish Civil War ... and an almost better one of roping in the lesser known tales'. www.independent.ie/entertainmen...
