History resources for secondary school teachers and students

The Atlas of the Irish Revolution, published by Cork University Press in 2017, features contributions from leading national and international scholars and over 300 original maps generated from a wide range of historical data.

For John Crowley, Donal Ó Driscoll, Mike Murphy and John Borgonovo, the editors of the landmark publication, it was important to make the exciting new research accessible to post-primary students - to bolster their understanding of the revolutionary years, enthuse them about local and national history, and inspire them to undertake research of their own.

The College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Studies, University College Cork is delighted to offer teachers access to the Atlas of the Irish Revolution Resources for Schools.

Developed by an experienced teacher and historian, the 8 Teaching Units cover a range of themes and topics from the 1845-1923 period, adaptable to the needs of Junior Cycle, Transition Year and Senior Cycle students.

Each Teaching Unit includes a Document Pack containing archival documents and images and a selection of maps created for the Atlas of the Irish Revolution. The accompanying lesson plans guide teachers in the practical use of this original material in the classroom, and the student worksheets are designed to consolidate learning, reinforce key skills and ignite a passion for exploring and learning about the past.
