Popular Centenary ‘Webisodes’ Series Concludes

The final webisode in a series of four online talks from Cavan County Council’s popular Decade of Centenaries programme will go live at 7.30pm on Thursday, 28 September 2023.

The webisodes are being delivered as part of Cavan County Council’s ongoing Decade of Centenaries commemorations and are supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media under the Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 initiative. In this edition, Cavan County Council Historian in Residence, Dr Brendan Scott will discuss ‘Cavan Historians during the Early Twentieth Century and Revolutionary Period’. Dr Scott is the author of publications such as ‘Religion and Reformation in the Tudor Diocese of Meath’ and ‘Cavan 1609–53: Plantation, War, and Religion’ and editor of the recent Decade of Centenaries-funded collection 'County Cavan and the Revolutionary Years, 1918-22'.

In this webisode, Dr Scott discusses how, “although Ireland in the early 1920s was going through a traumatic period of political and civil crisis, time was still made for the study and discovery of Cavan's history, with local historical and literary societies founded in the county, and important archaeological discoveries made”.

This webisode discusses these events and the historians involved in them. All previous webisodes can be accessed on the Cavan County Council website at www.cavancoco.ie/centenaries and on the council’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/cavancoco. This event forms part of Cavan County Council’s Decade of Centenaries 2023 programme and is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 Initiative.
