November 2009

The IVRLA has entered a very exciting, yet uncertain, period in its project life-cycle. The core collections are almost complete. New research collections are being generated. And much brain-power is being harvested for the last leg of the project.

Final completion date of IVRLA 1.0: 31st December 2009

Potentially this month we'll be launching up to 6 new core collections. Stay tuned.

We're developing an exciting new research area with 15 show-case research projects and we'll have more information about these new projects on the information website shortly.

There will be a series of IVRLA events over the coming weeks. More details to follow.

And the IVRLA will be changing its look before the end of the year - exciting times ahead.

Check out the repository for new collections - UCD Ephemera Collection, Papers of Michael Collins, and Folklore Photograph Collection have all been added since the last post.

And a very warm, albeit belated, welcome to Dr Dervila Layden (Research Coordinator), Katie Moten (Digitisation Assistant) and Joe Lakes (IT Support) who have recently joined the team.

Busy times ahead...
