2pm - Workshop Theme Part I: Histories and Heritage
Introducing the speakers: Caroline Carr, Irish Museums Association.
A sense of Place in the city of Derry/Londonderry
Liam Campbell, Academy of Cultural Heritage, University of Ulster, Magee Campus.
The Challenge of Commemorating the Plantation
Dr William Kelly, Lecturer in History, University of Ulster.
Under the theme of 'Histories and Heritage' the first two presentations ' given by Liam Campbell and Dr. William Kelly gave us a grounding in both the heritage and current climate of the city of Derry/Londonderry. This was an appropriate and important introduction not only because for many of the delegates, this was their first time in the city but furthermore because as the host of this years annual conference, the city of Derry/Londonderry was likley to be a re-occuring focal-point during the course of the conference.
