Are any of my academic contacts working in or around the British Library at present? I’m hoping for a quick look up in Frank Miles “King’s College School: A Register of Pupils … 1831-1866” - I’m looking to see if there are any Clippertons on the roll. #Academic #London #AcademicSky

I have seen similar in the research I have done on the women of Ennis Cumann na Mban. Those who got a pension were sent forms years later to see if their circumstances had change that might impact on their claim. The letters pleading their case for compensation are distressing to read at times.

Coming from @corkup.bsky.social on 11.09, the latest in their Atlas Series - Atlas of Irish Sport, edited by Mike Cronin, @cormacmoorehist.bsky.social , John Crowley & @charlieroche.bsky.social. Contains a HUGE array of essays on all aspects of Irish sporting history. thebookshop.ie/john-crowley...

Sport in all its forms is central to many people's lives and is an expression of culture that is very much rooted in place. It creates its own emotional attachments and loyalties.

Different localities across Ireland have been defined by their sporting endeavours and achievements. This new atlas will trace the history of Ireland's sporting culture and identity from the earliest times to the present. It will look at the evolution of different sports before the advent of rules and codification in the late Victorian period.

The modernisation of Irelands sporting culture will be explored through the prism of major sports like horse racing, Gaelic football, hurling, soccer, rugby, athletics etc. as well as minority sports. The history of Irish sport extends beyond the island and the sporting traditions of Ireland's diaspora will also be examined in detail.

Comprehensive in scope and richly illustrated the atlas will include contributions from Ireland's leading historians and sports writers.
