cultural heritage
Reading Our City’s Story is a joint education project between
the Derry and Raphoe Diocesan Library Project, the Drama
Department at the University of Ulster and local primary schools.
Pupils will be introduced to the Diocesan Library Collection
through a specially devised drama exploring its history and the
stories of some of the main characters associated with its creation
and development. The children will then have a follow-up visit
to the conservation studio at Shantallow Library to see the work
being undertaken to make this historical collection available to
a wider audience while also having the opportunity to make
their own book.
Supported by the University of Ulster
Cultural Development Support Scheme.
