In today’s episode, our guest is Dr. David Brown, Archival Discovery lead for Beyond 2022 and Research Fellow with the ADAPT Centre at Trinity Collge Dublin. David was part of the team at the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland who were nominated for the 2022 AI Awards.
The Treasury re-imagines and reconstructs through digital technologies the Public Record Office of Ireland, a magnificent archive destroyed on June 30th, 1922, in the opening engagement of the Civil War. Together with partners across Ireland and around the world, they are democratizing access to invaluable records and illuminating seven centuries of Irish history.
