Legacies of Conflict Fingal 1914-1945

There are many stories relating to the era of conflict in Fingal between 1914 and 1945. Some are widely known and commemorated, other stories may just be known within families or local communities. Fingal Legacies of Conflict Fingal 1914-1945 is a project that endeavours to capture and share those stories. Fingal Heritage Office has worked with members of the Fingal Heritage Network and consultants ABH Ltd. and North Mapping services to identify themes, places, events, artefacts and memorials from World War I, the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence, the Civil War and the Emergency in Fingal. There has also been a special focus on the role of women during the conflict era. Members of the public, historical societies and heritage groups across the County have been asked to search their memories, presses and archives for documents, photos and memorabilia relating to events in their areas.

The Legacies of Conflict Memory Map is a digital map and is a way of sharing the information gathered thus far. You can zoom into your own area and just point to the pin or search according to one of the six themes listed. Many of the entries have links to further information such as the Military Archives and reading resources.
