The Seminar arranged for Collins Barracks Museum on Saturday 30th October proved to be very successful, with an almost capacity audience in the lecture room. 27 local history societies were represented and heard interesting and informative talks by Liam Kenny, Bridget Loughlin, Mario Corrigan and Ronan Colgan. The last speaker of the day, Ronan Colgan, is Editor and Chief of History Press and his talk concentrated on how publishers deal with manuscripts from receipt of the work until the printed book appears on the bookshelves.
The large attendance from as far apart as Westport, Co. Mayo and Co.
Clare would tend to confirm that the availability of public transport to a seminar venue is an important advantage for the holding of such events.
