Opportunity
Grangegorman Histories is a public history programme of research and shared discovery of the Grangegorman site and surrounding communities. The programme partners are currently inviting applications from individuals and organisations for funding to support projects that explore and share any element of the history of Grangegorman, in keeping with its public history values.
Grangegorman Histories
In the past 250 years, Grangegorman has been the site of a workhouse, a hospital and a prison, and now it is to be integrated into Dublin city as a health and education campus. The buildings of Grangegorman stand as architectural monuments to that past and its complex histories.
Grangegorman Histories’ mission is to provide opportunities to contribute to the important work of uncovering, cataloguing and commemorating the eventful history of this site and surrounding areas.
The founding partners are Dublin City Council, Grangegorman Development Agency (GDA), the HSE, Local Communities, National Archives of Ireland, Royal Irish Academy (RIA) and TU Dublin. The GDA and the RIA are leading this public history programme of research and shared discovery.
