From Ireland’s Office of Public Works:

Irish Heritage Studies, Volume 2
Proposals due by 1 December 2024

Irish Heritage Studies is the new annual research journal of the Office of Public Works in Ireland, published in association with Gandon Editions. Volume one will be published next spring, and we’re currently inviting abstracts for volume two. The deadline is 1 December 2024.

The journal showcases original critical research rooted in the substantial portfolio of material culture in the care of or managed by the OPW: built heritage; historic, artistic, literary, and scientific collections; the national and international histories associated with these places and objects; and its own long organisational history. Papers contribute to a deeper understanding of this important collection of national heritage, and investigate new perspectives on aspects of its history. The journal is designed for a broad public, specialist, and professional readership. Full details on the journal are available here; and enquires are welcome at IHSjournal@opw.ie.
