We had a wonderful crafty afternoon with Kim Jenkinson recently who taught our participants to make some gorgeous paper flowers.

What can the records we leave behind tell us about a life? Join South Dublin County Council Archivist Carla Soden as she explores how archives are collected, interpreted and used to piece together stories from the past. Drawing on the archives of Woodville House and the Scott family, Carla will uncover the life of Marjorie Ruth Carden through the records that remain.

This talk offers a fascinating look at the work of an archivist and how letters, documents and other records can help us understand individual lives, local history and the communities that came before us.
