<H3>Programme</H3>
Irish Emigration: New Sources, New Approaches, New Results - Cormac Ó Gráda
Brian Trainor was always interested in the history of Irish emigration, and particularly in those who left Ulster before the Great Famine.  My talk in his memory will review recent and ongoing work on emigration from the island as a whole, highlighting the role of new material and new techniques, and the new perspectives they offer.
Organisational Support
This programme has been organised by Ulster Historical Foundation in partnership with Public Record Office Northern Ireland (PRONI) and supported by Causeway Coast & Glens Branch of North of Ireland Family History Society (NIFHS)
