Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005.

D.H: So Robert going back what was your first impression of Cork? R.F: My first impression of Cork, I remember driving in, I had a friend drive me from Dublin – she lives in Dublin – and she drove me into Cork. And em I don’t know, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know what Cork would be like, I mean I know there was a match on when I arrived and the place was very dirty (there was litter everywhere) and we came up MacCurtain Street, because my B & B was at MacCurtain Street, and there was a huge amount of litter there, and I remember my friend complaining about the amount of litter, and then I just got a sense, I just thought that Cork looked very interesting: it was very kind of hodge podge, you know, different colours, different textures, different types of buildings, a lot of the buildings I thought were not looked after like you’d think, like monument type buildings very neglected. And em but I was interested in all the different, it was an interesting town, it was very em stimulating because of the different colours, different types of things to see. I noticed that there was only one type of person: it was just Irish people kind of thing: I’m used to much more, lots of different races and colours and people and that, it was just one type of person, it was, white European kind of people, and very few Africans or darker coloured people, but that has changed in the last five years of course, em but I do remember thinking it was very monocultural, and that kind of thing; I also came to Cork in kind of Summer so it was very bright, and I thought, I liked the city, I felt it was interesting. One of the things that really struck me as well about the houses was that they all looked so like on top of each other, and tiny and small, and being used to houses in South Africa where there is planning (the cities are really planned) they are all modern cities – they are not like medieval towns or cities like Cork. So everything is planned and there are long distances, you know and the houses are widely placed, and everybody has got a little plot of land, and all the houses are separate. I’m talking about middle class kind of European people, white people in South Africa. A lot of Africans now that’s also the case – they live like that in South Africa too, but there is that differentiation: African people are often poorer, but not all, of course, but I noticed that when I came to Cork I thought Gosh, the houses are so squashed up nearly like a township, really I think in South Africa, and I’d always be surprised going into a house or a shop: it looked so small on the outside, and when you went in it was much bigger on the like an oblong shaped house, a square house, and most houses in South Africa wouldn’t have a double story, most houses are single storey, and they spread out on the ground rather than going up, so I noticed houses having three or four storeys, and that was very unusual for me, and I was struck by just how everything was squashed up, so em houses are very different, just the way people build, and the way people live as well, and very small spaces for people to bring up very large families in, one just wonders how people with twelve children or even six children would manage on such a squashed up house, and then I said why isn’t there enough space to build, and it’s not like that, it’s just that there is a different culture of building houses and a different way of building and a different way of conceiving of houses. Em later on I mean I started noticing when I spoke to people, local people, em one of the big topics of conversation in Ireland is property, and that everybody wants to have property, everyone wants to have a house, whereas where I come from no one really talks about that, it’s just taken for granted: you might get a house or you might not; you might rent or you might buy, but there is no focus on ownership of property, em although everyone you know a lot of people have, buy houses over in South Africa. Here young people, young people between the ages of twenty and thirty, are you know they’re all talking about they want a house, they want property, they want to own houses, and then you look at the prices of the houses, and like that was one thing that would just astound me at the price of a house: to me 100,000 pounds or punt at the time was just, for a house so small, and so cramped, how could you ever pay that amount of money for a house, and so I never, I still to this day don’t understand this property obsession, and everybody focussing on ownership of houses, and why don’t people just spread the building out more into the country and open it up and have more houses, and you know it’s just very difficult for me to understand. But I suppose there is a history and there is a history of British occupation, and ownership, and people wanting ownership of their land because they were you know disenfranchised and their land taken away from them, so one can understand it from that perspective, Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Robert Fourie: Hiberno-English, Holy Communion, Language, South Africa, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork; Ireland; South Africa Description An account of the resource Robert talks in detail about growing up in South Africa, and makes some observations about Cork places and people. Robert (b. 1969) is from a gold-mining town in South Africa. He talks about mining conditions there. He comments that South Africa has many different cultures and languages. He remembers Holy Communion as being a very religious event without the element of being given money. He talks about the kind of food and meals that are eaten by white South Africans. After gaining a qualification in Speech and Language Therapy, he wanted to travel and he settled in Cork. After returning home he missed Cork and returned. He describes his impression of the city when he first arrived. He observes that Irish people are quite indirect in their conversation and avoid sounding confrontational, and he returns to the topic of how language is employed. He relates a couple of funny Cork conversations which he overheard.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.C: A bit like myself really, ok tell me about how did you end up coming to Ireland and to Cork, how did you decide on Cork? R.S: Well I came to Ireland first when I was seventeen, basically because Sean Doherty put the idea in my head that I should go over for a summer and go to the Willy Clancy Week, and go round a few of the festivals so I did that and I ended up staying a year and a half, and then I went back to Australia for two years, and I've been back ever since, so I've lived in Kerry, Macroom Co Cork, and I've been in Galway for three years and I, the reason I moved to Cork city is for years now I've wanted to study violin making, that's kind of what I've wanted to do, and a year ago I moved to Cork to study with a French man in Cork called Bertrand Gallen, study violin making so that's what I'm doing. S.C: You're actually making violins now at the moment! R.S: I am yeah. S.C: Em what are your memories of coming to Ireland, of arriving in Cork, what were your first impressions of the city and its people? R.S: I thought Cork was quite relaxed, a bit more like a village than a city, and em I much prefer it to Dublin, because it's a small town, I don't think of it as a city, and I find that it is very friendly because of that. (I much prefer it to Galway because Galway is so touristy and here that doesn't, it's not like that). S.C: It's kind of like a gateway to west Cork really, people only come to Cork, except for Shandon and other places in Cork or Blarney, they tend to go west of the county really and head for Bantry, places like Bantry and Glengariff, and . . . R.S: Exactly, you've got the whole of West Cork right there for you, you know it's beautiful, and down into Kerry, and it's not too far up to Clare, so you might be, you know if they moved Cork up the West coast a bit it would be better, it's a good spot yeah.

Title A name given to the resource Rob Stafford: Aboriginals, Australia, Fiddle, Racial Prejudice, Traditional music, Willy Clancy Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork; Ireland; Austrailia; Description An account of the resource Rob grew up in Carrigullen, Perth, in Western Australia in a Eucalyptus forested area. He is the second eldest of five children. He has one brother and three sisters. Describes his neighbourhood as forested where the main source of income was growing apples and pears in the valleys. Sometimes temperatures could reach 45 degrees in the summer. Talks about how he grew up in a mainly Irish community in Perth. They were like a family to him and introduced him to Irish music. He was taught to play the fiddle by Sean Doherty from Charlestown, Co Mayo. Remembers fishing and going horse riding through the bush when he was a child. Relates a vivid memory from childhood; how the early pioneers ring barked Eucalyptus trees to kill them and how his father felled one of these skeleton trees. Describes in detail how he was taught to play the fiddle. Music was as much about the people as the music. He speaks of the enjoyment of camping in the bush and recalls the treat of spending two weeks with the Aboriginal community in North West Australia. Rob first came to Ireland when he was seventeen, to go to the Willy Clancy Week. He lived in Kerry, Macroom and Galway. He moved to Cork to study violin making with a French man called Bertrand Gallen. He loves the mixture of brilliant classical music as well as traditional music in Cork. He talks through the stages of making a violin.

Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event. A second DVD was produced by the Cork Folklore Project in 2015, drawing on further interviews carried out by Mark Wilkins, entitled If the Stones Could Speak. Support: this project was part-funded by Cork City Council.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com ROS Blackrock Castle was built between 1582 and 1604 and it was built on a limestone outcrop onto the river, because this is a really deep harbour, it’s a very short harbour in some ways because Cork City is about four kilometres up river and the harbour is about nine kilometres the other way so Cork was a booming trade town at the time and it was full of ships coming in with either passengers or trade and where you have a lot of trade you have a lot of people trying to rob that trade so they had pirate ships coming in a lot and the kids get really excited when they hear ‘pirates were coming to Cork’ but they, it was kind of a dangerous time for that kind of traffic to be coming in so they petitioned the crown for a castle, for defensive, for a defensive fort so Blackrock Castle was built on this part because it comes, it can have a little sort of little V that comes out and the harbour that comes along is really deep that’s why you get some really really big ships into the city but incredibly narrow so it was very very dangerous to drive it that’s why nowadays you stop in Cobh and you get a pilot onto your ship to drive it in for you so Blackrock Castle was put here so they could use it as a sort of a lighthouse to stop, to help the ships come in to not crash but also then to dissuade pirate ships coming in so that they might [phrase unintelligible]. So apparently the harbour is like full, full of shipwrecks if you went out scuba diving you’d find loads of things down there and we’ve got shipwrecks from about 1500, 1600 like loads of things though, I’ve no idea what’s down there, I’d be really fascinated to go see.

How would they have related to that, would they have eh, we’ll say fancied themselves left-wing and rebellious but would they really have extended that to any sort of engagement. What was going on there like in protests about the vote? J F: Well yeah, that came into it and one or two of the more radical ones would have gone to down after school to join with the peoples democracy protests at Queens University and in our debating society and other groups. I remember vividly we invited Austin Curry who was a Stormont MP at the time to come and speak to us. And, that was rather a shameful meeting because there was also a very more vociferous Paisleyite element. Not probably most of the students were a political or would have voted Unionists or their parents certainly would have voted Unionists. But, there was a small left-wing element and there was also a small maybe slightly larger Paisleyite element and when Austin Curry came some of the Paisleyite students were or pupils were rather bad-mannered and displayed a Union Jack and asked rather aggressive questions. S H: How did he cope with it? J F: Well he coped with it well enough but I mean the teachers afterwards have us to understand that this had not been one of the more glorious days of the school's liberal reputation. And, I think they were right. S H: Was he already into the Socialist Democratic and Labour Party then? J F: He was a Nationalist MP I think, SDLP hadn’t quite been formed but he was known for his involvement in civil rights. Yeah, and I think that’s my one main memory of the rioting 68 – 69. But, I mean this is a selfish thing to say, I’m thankful that by the time I left school the real bad violence hadn’t started in Belfast. I mean it did affect the next generation of students. Bomb scares or tape on the windowpanes. S H: Would you have been-- J F: Threatening or it was -- the next generation of students found it difficult wearing the school uniform going if they went home certain ways they were a target. That would be quite painful to live through. S H: Would you have been a bit insulated from it in your area say more so then somebody with class difference? J F: To some degree, to some degree, yes but I mean eh, Belfast is still quite a small place. So, even though my earlier movement was unrestricted you know once the bombs stated I’m talking about a little bit later that became something that involved everybody and you couldn’t escape it. Well thankfully I did escape it, you know you knew it was going on. And, yeah, I mean Belfast through the troubles it's funny because people from my background middle class Protestants would often say oh, you could live in Belfast and not know there was trouble going on. And, I know what they mean but certainly in the 70s when the bombing campaign was on you certainly knew there was mayhem, trouble, terrorism whatever you want to call it. And, one could hear gunfire in, I remember hearing that one night in 1970, you know you couldn’t live in Belfast in the 70s and not know that blood was being shed and lives were being destroyed. S H: Sitting here and reality to all that to be living in essentially sharing the same supply station that we have in London or Paris or something and yet have all this craziness going on and not being able to stop it? J F: Well you just you adapted to it, people do and I remember coming back as a student from England I’d see the difference. Soldiers on the streets with loaded weapons, one presumed they were loaded. I’m sure they were, and then being searched going into shops and all of this minor inconvenience. You go back over the water to England, a society that knew nothing about this at that time. That made me as a young man quite angry, upset but you know?

Title A name given to the resource Rev John Farris: Civil Rights, Christianity, Northern Ireland Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Reverend Faris is a Presbyterian minister. His family had connections with Cork. He discusses his childhood impressions of differences between Northern Ireland and the Republic, as well as commenting on aspects of the Christian ritual year. Reverend Faris was born in 1952 and grew up in Belfast. His grandfather was a member of the Presbyterian congregation in Cork. The Reverend’s father was a teacher at Queen’s University, Belfast. His mother is from Glasgow. He studied Latin and Greek and, afterwards, theology. He talks about the early days of the civil rights agitation and about his contacts with Catholics. He remembers Northern celebrations on the 11th of July [‘Eleventh Night’] and Halloween, and he comments that the latter included a tradition of indulging in an element of vandalism. He discusses whether Christmas should be celebrated by Christians, due to its pagan roots. He criticises the Twelfth of July parades by the Unionist community as having a sectarian aspect.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

So, when you go online you can click on a certain point in the map and hear somebody, like you know some of the voices that we had playing. PC: Yeah, because I knew Geraldine from, I say, I used to work in Wilton and Geraldine used to come in for her cup of coffee. COC: Oh, very good. PC: And then, where the Butter Exchange is now used to be a hat factory a long, long time ago. It was O’Gorman’s Hat Factory. And my mother’s mother worked up there. But my grand-father, which would be my mother’s father, was a docker below in the quay but his mother used to sell second hand clothes in the Coal Quay. COC: And can you describe her to me? PC: Well, well I mean since they were all heavy I could get one or two pictures, I’d say off my uncle and well it wasn’t like – my mother had curly hair and good looking. They used to say when – well my grand-mother used to say about her mother in law, she had an old coat or an old apron and the black shawl but she was taking all the coins and notes and they’d be going home at night they’d be [phrase unintelligible] straighten them out. But my grandmother’s father then was a docker below in the quay. That time then there was no [word unintelligible] for dockers below in the quay. Ands my grandfather, on my father’s side, worked for C.I.E. in the railway but his wife’s grandmother was from Chapelizod in Dublin you see. So they all came like, twas basically work with docks, C.I.E. and the whole lot like. My husband then is originally from Shandon Street. COC: And where did you grow up yourself? PC: I grew up in the Low Road, em just below Water Street and we used to come up to get the chocolate crumb off the boats and the bananas. We used to get killed. [Laughter] COC: And would you go in, go in up the quays looking for it? PC: Go up the quay waiting for the chocolate crumb boat to come up and sure of course there was no sweets or you couldn’t afford sweets that time like. We’d get the chocolate crumb and you’d get the bananas and of course the bananas would be as green as grass and you’d have to wrap them in brown paper; put it in cupboards instead like right. Half the time I remember going down then where Silversprings now is. That used to be called Dwyer’s Wood and there was a lot of big houses that time like I mean to say. These were big houses now, they had maids and cleaners and they were big four, five storey houses. But one day we decided we’d go in slogging apples. Of course I caught on the fence coming over. I had two lovely spike marks, sure I got killed when I went up home. COC: And does Kyle, does your grandson know what slogging apples is? PC: You see, this is it, not the kids. COC: You should explain it. Explain it to him now. PC: You see when you go out, you now like, she has an apple tree next door but you see that time we had no money. So we’d be sent off in the morning maybe a bread and jam sandwich and a bottle of milk and you’d be doing – go off for the day because that was – Dwyer’s Wood at the end of Silversprings, where the hotel is there now. We used to be big fools in fields and you’d be throwing off down then playing rounders and whatever was going for the day. And then, well on the way back you’d be feeling hungry and we’d go in and we’d rob apples. That’s what called slogging apples is. [Interrupted by grandson in interview] PC: He was saying what was that building behind the Maldron hotel. But that was the old North Infirmary. COC: Yes. Yeah. PC: I must say my father in law was a patient in there. And I mean to say like where you come out the back now where they have the car park you can see Shandon. And it took me to have a look at Shandon today and then out to the Skiddy’s Alms Houses. Because like you’d often see them and they’d be – I’m sure it’s a Cork Channel, it’s to do with the heritage above in Farrannree or something and they had a documentary about Skiddy’s Alms Houses and then of course I brought him out to see them and then I had to bring him down, Bobba Jones’ as we used to call it long ago. And there. COC: And tell me, when you were young growing up. What kind of games would you play? PC: Oh we’d have kick the can. You see I grew up in the Low Road. It’s like rounders and we used to have hide and seek and then we would play skipping and two balls and then with the roller skates, the old fashioned roller skates with the big rubber wheels. Sure we used to have a great time with them. We were grand didn’t we had no elbow pads or no knee pads. I often fell. COC: And eh, did you ever have bonfires on bonfire night? PC: I did, got rid of all the rubbish and tyres and big black smoke and you’d have the sausages on stick cooking on the bonfire. COC; And where would your bonfire be? PC: We had – there was a big quarry on the Low road. If you go along the train now to Cobh you actually had to pass through the quarry and we used to have great times down there because it – there was men, Mr. Googan [?], the Lord have mercy o him. His daughters were in school with me but he was a taxi driver and that time like taxi drivers, I’m going back now fifty five, so like I’m going back to then. And like having someone [phrase unintelligible] as a taxi driver oh that was a great thing. You were very wealthy, very well to do like. And eh we used to go in there in under the railway bridge play in the quarry and there was the eh, a little stream because you see Spring Lane as we used to call it – Silversprings was a fresh water spring and it used to run down Silversprings, the whole length of Silversprings and you could walk up Spring Lane from there, up to the top of Mayfield and you’d come out then by the Cotton Ball. COC: Yeah, yeah. PC: So, of course we used to have the fresh water and we had an old pond then below the porridge [?] we’d be in there swimming. That was our swimming pool. Or we’d go down, well tis’ a park now, tis the Cork Harbour Park in the Low Road, but that was Tivoli Scheme long ago and sure tis’ in there I learned how to swim. COC: Oh right. PC: And my grandmother, she could never swim but she used to row the ferryboat by the ferryboat inn, over long ago to the matches in Pairc Uí Chaoimh now but it was the Showgrounds that time – or over to the athletic grounds. And her brother, Georgie Garrett, was on the same team as Christy Ring; and he won an All-Ireland. COC: Oh wow. PC: And, like, things like that – I mean tis’ it’s. [Interrupted] COC: And, your grandmother now, she’d, she’d go over as a passenger, was it, in the row boat. PC: No she used to row the boys over in the ferry boat ‘cause she used to – she won a bracelet years ago and it would have been, kind of the equivalent of an Olympic medal ‘cause she rowed with Lee Rowing Club. COC: Wow. PC: They used to do the ‘em—there used to be [phrase unintelligible] and they used to be up and down the river like and she could never swim, but she used to row them. So like that’s where we learned how to swim. We used to go backwards and forwards. COC; Wow. PC: My uncle threw me in, I was about six down in Tivoli Scheme. And I had to learn how to swim. COC: I tell ya, in at the deep end that is. PC: Oh by god you learned how to swim. COC: And what was the Tivoli Scheme? What was it? PC: It was – there was all oil factories that time, the Esso Oil Factory, and then there was em – they used to do a roofing product called Roof Broom. There were a multi-national company. COC: And were you swimming in the river there? PC: Yeah. COC: Yeah, yeah. PC: Swimming in the River Lee, going out to sea. [Interrupted by Grandson] PC: But I remember the synagogue that time for the Jews in Cork, it was over in the Lee Terrace by the old Labour Exchange, where the Lee Garage is now, that’s where the old synagogue was. It’s just like when you be walking around –because Patrick Street is changed so much, Roches’ Stores is it used to be Roches’ Stores then above that, down where Merchant’s Quay – they were on actually -- Neil Prendeville out it on the other day about pubs, old pubs around Cork. There was the Queen’s, there was The Inisfallon along the other side by the back of the Metropole. There were so many old pubs – The Long Valley is – what’s the oldest, The Chateaux. They’re about the only two – The Swan and Cygnet, where Blacktie is there now, used to be the Song and Cygnet. But I mean to say like the – even Cork to the Cork I grew up in like it’s changed so much. COC: I’d say so. PC: I mean to say where Burgerking is there now, that used to be Lipton’s fruit shop long ago, eh where Guiney’s was, was the five star supermarket. And in the old Roches’ Stores there was a laneway going between them and the old coffee shop and down there; there was a friend of mine used to work there, Jack Lyons’ tobacco shop, and they used to mix all of his tobacco for the pipe smokers. And then you had the Tivoli where the entrance, I suppose you could call it down to Marks and Spencers was a fabulous public restaurant. And across from that, now I even say the last day we used to love eh there used to be a greasy spoon I suppose you call it, the Uptown Grill on MacCurtain Street. Sure that’s gone now as well like. Change of faces. COC: So listen, thanks very much. [End of Interview] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Memories of the Orthopaedic project focused on a cohort of nine interviewees who were associated with ‘the Orthopaedic’ as former staff (including medical and housekeeping), patients and locals who grew up near the hospital in Gurranabraher. The interviews, all but one of which were carried out by Joanne McNamara of the Health Services Executive, took place between April and September 2017. The project resulted in the publication of The Ministry of Healing, St Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital Cork: An Oral and Historical Record (by Tomás MacConmara for the CFP), and elements from the interviews were incorporated into an open-air display linked to a Slí na Sláinte (Path to Health) walking route on the new campus. The project was celebrated and the book launched on 12 April 2018 at the CFP Outreach Hub. The CFP and the HSE subsequently entered into a two-year partnership, the 'Oral History for Health' project that carries out oral history in health care contexts (2019-2020), the first strand of which is the HSE Grattan Street Stories project.

Indeed some of the interviews for the Grattan Street project took place in this new centre. There is thus some overlap in discussions related to the St. Mary's Health Campus (St Mary’s Primary Care Centre) Gurranabraher itself. </div> </div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Peter Sargent: Orthopaedic Hospital, Working Life, Healthcare Subject The topic of the resource Ireland; Cork; Gurranabraher; Healthcare; Occupational Lore: Description An account of the resource Peter moved to Cork in his early twenties when he had got a job as a typewriter mechanic. The job involved a lot of travel which did not suit him once he got married. Peter left this job for a position at St Mary's Hospital as a theatre attendant. After a few years in this role, Peter successfully applied for the role of anaesthetic technician. He didn’t administer anaesthetic but he set it up what the consultants would use. He would also set up the patient when they arrived and get them ready and then the nurses would arrive. They were all female nurses. He mentions that the sister frowned on male nurses. Peter talks of the hierarchy in the hospital and that certain staff could not talk to senior consultants. He tells a story of being reprimanded for calling a nurse by her first name. Peter then talks about union activity at the hospital. He mentions that Gerry O’Sullivan who was the cook at the hospital was the shop steward and that Joe O’Callaghan (later became Lord Mayor of Cork) would handle more serious cases. He recalls the social aspect of the job and mention the bars that they would frequent. Peter kept up with a lot of his collegues after retirement.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

P D: Make ends meet. It’s only now I see it like, make ends meet like you know? I mean Jeez, the father's suit like could be goin’ into the pawn on a Monday like. And if there was somethin’ on, ‘twould be taken out on a Friday like, when the dole come in. And like in the end like, the father like or the pawn shop didn’t really know who ownded the suit like.I t went on so long and that’s was every family like, every family like. Which result in that, like, the suit could outlive the family because the suit was always kept it was a means of eh, of money like it was kept imperfect nick like you know? You know? That time like pawn shops were fascinatin’ places do you know eh, place was full o’ pawn shops like you know? CO’C: Do you remember any particular ones? P D: Well I remember the one down in Blarney Street next to the Blarney Street School an’ I remember eh, eh, there was one up on the end o’ Patrick’s Hill an’ I saw a watch inside in the window and at that time like you, you didn’t have choice of a dozen watches in your drawer like, a watch was a thing for life you know? So I saw this watch anyway and eh, Jesus the watch was fabulous, fabulous, I was thinking’ I could ha’ been a teenager that time. So I decided anyway I wanted the watch an’ so. Your man says eh, “I let ya pay by the week, so pay by the week an’ when you have it paid you’d get it out.” I dunno was it was it ten bob or somethin’ like that. In the end anyway, I couldn’t keep up the payments, I couldn’t keep up the payments for a ten bob watch like you know? So even now today like I’ve this watch now like, I’ve this watch now like for, I’ve it a good thirty-five years now. An’ I think, like in my mind like a watch is somethin’ for life. A watch is somethin’ you get an’ it’s somethin’ for life. I see people they change a watch every day now an’ that’s grand like but for me, a watch is somethin’ for life because like it was a possession I always wanted like you know what I mean? You know? So eh, eh, eh, it was all like, like, the majority o’ time ‘twas second-hand clothes like . Only chance like that when we, when we, we’d say once a year there was this scheme called the free boots and your mother would take you down an’ you, maybe down to Shandon Street or whatever an’ you’d get em, these free boots from the government like you know what I mean? And eh, they were supposed to last ya for the year then like you know? Otherwise, you’d be in rubber dollies in the middle o’ winter like you know? CO’C: Yeah. P D: Canvas shoes like an’ no matter what the weather was like, you know? An’ everyone, everyone goin’ to school was in a short pants. You know? CO’C: What kinda things did your mother do say now to kinda stretch things a bit or to? P D: Well, em, at Christmas she went pluckin’. Yeah, all the women in our area went pluckin’. You know? Because o’ size o’, like other than the father bein’ on the dole it ended up the mother bein’ the, was bringin’ home the money like. She went pluckin’ and then for the rest o’ the year she went cleanin’ people’s houses. She’d do anything, you know I mean it was like the mother hen like, lookin’ after the family like. Eh, so, like that was the bonus in eh, in eh, Christmas they’d go pluckin’, pluckin’ the chicken and turkey and eh, like one aunt, she moved, she was over there in Middle Parish and she moved to eh, Leamington Spa after and eh, she was a, she was a dinger at the pluckin' like. She could turnout so many turkeys or whatever like you know? ‘Cos if, and the turkey would be clean because if they, if they tore the turkey they have to sow it, they’d have a needle and thread like. So I remember goin’ down, eh, with the food, down to the the mother and at that time that could ha’ been a bottle o’ tea. CO’C: Yeah. P D: And a, a bottle o’ tea and eh, maybe a sandwich like I be go down, course she wouldn’t have to come back up then again. The turk, the place she used to pluck the turkeys was down in em, ‘cross from the Mercy Hospital ‘twas in that area. And eh, and goin’ in, and an’ all the women they had bibs on ‘em but they were all covered in feathers like you know? Whole place was feathers like you know? So that, she done things like that to make ends meet like. But she’d have done anything like you know? You know? Which, which they’d all have done like you know what I mean? You know?

Title A name given to the resource Pete Newman: Shandon Street, Unemployment, Machoness, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Pete Newman (also known as Pete Duffy) was born in 1945. He grew up in Orrery Road off Cathedral Road. His relatives came from Broad Lane and moved up to Gurranabraher. Cyclists going up Shandon Street used to hold on to the back of buses, which pulled them uphill. He recalls that some men could step off a moving bus and land perfectly still on the road. He remembers as a child being in a convoy of steering cars. Pete says 90% of men during the 1950s were unemployed. He talks about the lanes of Cork; many had cobblers in them who were disabled men from the World Wars. Idle men played cards at street corners. He recalls pawn shops, and trying to pay for a watch in one of them, and remembers the free boots scheme. Women earned money at Christmas by plucking turkeys. He remembers the music his parents liked and the arrival of American rock and roll music. The Northside was very close to the countryside and country people came into the Butter Market. Pete makes a number of references to men’s macho behaviour: whistling, smoking, swearing.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards.

P K: To young children, to young generations. Oh my Goodness em you know well there times are so different for them now that the thing I suppose to try and make them realise that the simplest things can be most enjoyable and most entertaining. That they don’t have to have everything they see advertised you know? That family and friends are much more important than material things. It would be hard for them maybe to understand that now. Em certainly eh there’s such a gap there I suppose there are two generations now between when I was a child and the little children growing up now and there’s such a gap in in experience and em oh you know that the computer age having come in and the television age having come in that it got terribly hard to explain to children the happiness that the children of my age had in the simplest things of life and what gave them the biggest thrills in life would be just not understood by the children nowadays. I suppose if the Grannies of nowadays talked one to one with the little children of nowadays they’d be absolutely fascinated but it would be as it is actually a different age they’d be talking about because no more than my age group would understand what the Victorian age was like and what children had then as compared to what I had, growing up. So it would be very difficult only to tell them to keep simple and to keep, have a great regard for for people rather than things. That people are what matter, I would say. That the kindnesses and the neighbourliness that we had as as children em should be kept going with the children nowadays. I think that’s really as I say it would be very hard to make them understand you know that the things that they can buy aren’t as important as the things that they have and the things that they are themselves because they’re very precious and every person is precious, you know? J E: Em. P K: So that’s that’s really all I could say about it and about those little ones.

Title A name given to the resource Peggy Kelleher: The Lough, Marriage, World War 2 Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Peggy (born 1930s) grew up in Hartland's Road, near The Lough. She was an only child. Her father, William Power, from County Waterford; he worked at the Munster Arcade and lived through the Burning of Cork by the Black and Tans in 1920; he was involved in the old IRA and the War of Independence. Her parents married in 1928. Her mother, Gertrude Murphy, came from Youghal, and worked in the Post Office; she was an independent woman whom Peggy describes as a feminist. Local shops were almost like community centres, where news was exchanged. She remembers a house shop run by the Carey sisters, and a local butcher that sold meat displayed uncovered. She talks about childhood games, being watched over by mothers, and early bedtimes. Reading books was popular in her house. Her father worked for 40 years without illness by died from cancer at 57. Gas for cooking at home was rationed because of the Second World War. She recalls the jobs she used to do around the house as a child. She recalls a story her father told about a marriage match. Peggy describes the meal times of the day and what was eaten. The meat had to be bought fresh each day. The only fruit and vegetables used were those which happened to be in season. Fish had to be eaten every Friday; sometimes it was dried, salted fish. She recalls childhood games; boys and girls played separately. She went to a private school and then to commercial college, and ended up working as a dentist’s assistant. She got married when she was about 23. She recalls teenage dances, hanging around in groups rather than as couples, and dances monitored by nuns. Girls expected to be married by the time they were 25. Peggy compares the lives of modern children to that of her generation and wishes the present generation learned that happiness was simple and not based on materialism. She recalls a number of pranks she played as a child.

Title A name given to the resource Pauline Matthews Subject The topic of the resource Tuberculosis Description An account of the resource Pauline Matthews was born in 1950 in the Ballintemple area of Cork city. When she was an infant her mother contracted tuberculosis and was confined to the chest hospital in Mallow. Shortly afterwards, Pauline contracted the disease, leading her to be hospitalised in St Raphel's Montenotte. Pauline's father was in the merchant navy, meaning he was away for long periods. After an accident at sea, he too was hospitalised, in Australia. The loss of the father's income meant that Pauline's aunt had to not only be the sole visitor to her sister and niece in the hospital but also, hold down a job to provide for her three relatives.

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection. This LGBT collection of interviews is stored within the Cork Folklore Project permanent oral history archive run in conjunction with UCC’s Folklore and Ethnology Department and Northside Community Enterprises, with both a physical and digital presence. As with all our material, access to full interviews is supervised through a variety of permissions and forms.

Title A name given to the resource Stonemason Oral History Project Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Occupational Lore; Trades; Description An account of the resource This collection consists of 14 interviews with 12 people (11 male stonemasons and one female family member). It was carried out between November 2015 and April 2017 and documents the experiences of stonemasons based in Cork throughout the twentieth century. The interviews were carried out by CFP Researcher Michael Moore, himself a qualified stonemason. The collection explores the occupational and social context of stonemasonry; work practices, the social context, occupational lore, the secret language Bearlager na Saor and family ties. Most of the interviews are focused on the mid to late twentieth century with some stories and histories dating back to the eighteenth century This project’s second interviewee, Jim Fahy of the Cork Mason’s Historical Society, was inspired to include an oral history element to his ongoing research and documentation of stonemasonry, and this material is being accessioned to the CFP. Michael Moore characterized the project as an attempt to capture a snapshot of the lives and voices of stonemasons and ‘to record their insular world for posterity’, pointing out that ‘There is a need to document the living tradition of stonemasonry by recording people who work or have worked in masonry, particularly those born into it as part of familial ties.’ (Moore, 2016: 8).

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com The womens prison which is in Sundays Well and to the west of the Good Sheppard Convent, em, again very, very clear childhood memories of walking there from Ballyphehane, walking as far as Jail Cross and ironically passing the old county jail which is the building at the western side of UCC campus now or the Jail Cross side of it, em, always fascinated by the fact that it was closed and while one could go up the steps to the two storey building eh in the centre of the wall at the front and been able to look in and see so far into the yard and yet been aware of so much space behind it and the building itself never really getting I don’t remember getting a clear view of the building. But my mother had great devotion to a little girl who died very young known as little Nellie of Holy God and she would part of our visits over into that direction, our walks over would be to pray at her grave, em, I was always drawn by the high walls of the prison and wondering what was in there or how would I get in. Years later a chance came in my teens when myself and a friend happened to be walking up that way during the summer holidays from school. Now to the left of the steps up to the main building at the centre of the front wall eh there was an archway and two metal gates, now I had known for instance that 2RN which was the Cork Broadcasting Radio Eireann back in I think started in the late 1920s called RTE or 2RN as it was called broadcast locally from there for a couple of years and the PNT were using the front section of the yard as a depo as well, but the gates were open and this was my first time been able to see in and there was a truck entering so curiosity getting the better of us, the truck drove in, we hesitated a few seconds and then ran in to have a quick look around but thinking we had a bit of time to spare we went in around the yard and went in a good distance from the gate when the next thing we heard one of the gates closing, turning around and between the urge to get out and not be seen we froze for a moment, totally undecided on what to do but thankfully the men that were after parking the truck had to go back into an office and we legged it out of there like sprinters. Em the building as far as I know, the design of the building is similar to I think what would have been built in the famous Dartmoor prison in England at the time, and its interesting because I was on holidays in Devon last year and there’s a big debate because I think its going to close as a prison and there is a big debate in Devon as to what, could even be a national debate really, as to what to do with the building but to the best of my knowledge there was a kind of a standard blueprint for prisons built I think, I think that was opened in 1820 around the same time as the old county jail over at Jail Cross at UCC. Em and I’m not sure about that one because it is demolished now but I think the building in, in the Cork Prison, or the old women’s prison would be a similar design to the one at Dartmoor.

These streets link the island of the city centre with the North and South Sides of the city. They form a shopping and business area, which has also served a residential purpose down through the years. Although our broader collection contains much description of and stories from the area, these interviews (carried out between January and March 2015 and totalling 4 hours 28 minutes in duration) focus specifically on the streets, their past and their future. Interviewees include residents of the streets and their environs and those who work and have worked there, and the interviews encompass memories of the area from the 1940s onwards, descriptions of change in the area, and reflection on the area’s future. Interviews were carried out with local residents, one of whom is a local historian, representatives of three multi-generational family businesses (Leader’s clothing, the North Gate Pharmacy and Bradley’s Off-licence), a South Main Street resident and city planner, a cityscape historian, and a promoter who was particularly active in organising events in the nightclub Sir Henry’s in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

PL: Eh it was made from 1 piece of timber, which was quite unusual AB: Wow. An’ did you keep it? PL: We didn’t, it’s a guy called eh Leo Lenihan AB: Oh yeah PL: Curran’s Restaurant, he took the counter an’ he made it into 2 different pieces, an’ he has used that in different parts of his own ventures.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005. Interviewers on the project: Jennifer Butler; Lee Cassidy; Sean Claffey; Diane Hoppe; Dolores Horgan; John Mehegan; Clíona O’Carroll; Mary O’Driscoll; Noel O’Shaughnessy: Frances Quirke.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com L.C: Em can you remember any Irish being spoken in your house? P.M: Yeah, not in my house now, but when we used to travel every day over, not every day . . .every year over to Ireland, and em the first phrase I learned in Irish was na bi dana buachaill beag. Em my cousins were brought up in Irish and they were very naughty when they were small and em – very hyperactive – so I just wasn’t able to control them at all, and the only I could was by saying this sentence which I didn’t even know what it meant at the time. And em I used to say when they were just uncontrollable, I used to say na bi dana buachaill beag, but I just didn’t know what it meant. And until years later where somehow I just said it again and finally it was translated to me. But that was the first thing I learned in Irish; and then my mother probably would travel over to Ireland by car – it took us two days on the road, and then another day on the boat – so she’d be kind of naming all the counties in Ireland and saying different words in Irish as well, and then when I came over to Ireland I would start pointing out things, and then she would tell me the equivalent word in Irish. So yeah I did know a few words a long time ago. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Stonemason Oral History Project Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Occupational Lore; Trades; Description An account of the resource This collection consists of 14 interviews with 12 people (11 male stonemasons and one female family member). It was carried out between November 2015 and April 2017 and documents the experiences of stonemasons based in Cork throughout the twentieth century. The interviews were carried out by CFP Researcher Michael Moore, himself a qualified stonemason. The collection explores the occupational and social context of stonemasonry; work practices, the social context, occupational lore, the secret language Bearlager na Saor and family ties. Most of the interviews are focused on the mid to late twentieth century with some stories and histories dating back to the eighteenth century This project’s second interviewee, Jim Fahy of the Cork Mason’s Historical Society, was inspired to include an oral history element to his ongoing research and documentation of stonemasonry, and this material is being accessioned to the CFP. Michael Moore characterized the project as an attempt to capture a snapshot of the lives and voices of stonemasons and ‘to record their insular world for posterity’, pointing out that ‘There is a need to document the living tradition of stonemasonry by recording people who work or have worked in masonry, particularly those born into it as part of familial ties.’ (Moore, 2016: 8).

One side of his family were masons- so it was easier to go back as they passed the trades down the generations His great, great grandfather was Jeremiah Hogan- a great Cork name- there was mention of Spike Island, he was one of 22 children- which shocked Pat Pat’s mother was a keen amateur genealogist Pat’s father is from Co Meath Pat went on holidays in Ireland as a kid every summer “so, we had this kind of wonderful schizophrenic duality, so we’d come home to Ireland”- England was Babylon They went to Dublin, the link with Cork had been lost- Pat’s mother had a yearning to find out about her side of the family- Hogan is a Tipperary name They were brought to Cork as teenagers as his mother did her research in the local libraries- they were Hogan’s and masons At that time, there was a local historian living out in Cobh, his name was Liam Hogan, a stonemason- the librarian told them this. Pat remembers going up to a house in Cobh with his mother Eileen Devaney [phonetic sounding] to look for Liam O’Hogan. This man came out and he looked very dramatic, very rugged. Pat’s mother got emotional when she saw him “she knew she was in the right house” as he looked like her grandfather, “like meeting a ghost” And she told him what she knew- he was a great writer and contributor to the Journal of the Cork historical and archaeological society JCAHS, he is dead since. He was the right man, he knew his history- he had heard of the Hogan’s who went to London, “We don’t know what happened to them” So, they had found the connection. He was able to sit down and tell her what he knew (6m09s) Since then, they have done a lot of research and they found out the Hogan’s have been stonemasons as far back as 1619, up to today, there is still a Hogan mason in Midleton [Cork] The idea that stonemasonry is just another trade is wrong. They are itinerant masons- they travel around The Hogan name is from Tipperary, Limerick and Clare- they came down to Cork in the mid-eighteenth century because there was a huge building boom. They followed the work. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.07.11 - 0.11.21 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Father Edmond Hogan, the Jesuit Archive, finding the family tree Liam Hogan told them about Father Edmond’s papers- he is a relative of theirs, he was a great historian in the 19th century He taught James Joyce, he taught Douglas Hyde Irish. Pat did not know of him. All of father Edmond Hogan’s brothers got together and took mortgages out so Edmond could train as a priest- he was bright- he became a very noted scholar who wrote countless books- he was a key figure in the revival of the Irish wolfhound. He wrote books on Ireland in the 16th century, he was a quasi-genius, he was great friends with Eoin McNeill. He was part of the language revival in the 1880s. They found out all his papers were in the Jesuit archive in Dublin- they were allowed have a look at them but there was no order on them and there was a room full of them. “literally walls of filing boxes” This was in the 1990s, since then they have been put into order They spent 3 days there- they found cigarette packets with notes on them- he was an inveterate note taker and historian His famous book is called ‘Onomasticon Goedelicum’ [Latin phrase, 9m00s a history of all the place names in Irish] He did research that is still been used Pat and his mother were looking for stuff on the family tree- Pat was getting bored- finally on the last box at the bottom was his hand-written account of the family tree- [nice quote- 10m] And it was all there- they were masons going way back- they came down from Tipperary One of them built Ballyedmond House in Midleton They would work on the house- become stewards and stay there The mason’s sons would then move on to another place So, there were Hogan’s all over East Cork and they were all masons They built up a picture bit by bit When Pat looks at a book, he goes to the back to see if there is any Hogan’s in it- if yes they are his (lineage) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.11.22 - 0.14.47 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> What his ancestors built, speaking to masons, understanding life as a mason historicially, Eddie Buckley a mason, Clongowes and father Edmond Hogan Pat is not a mason he grew up in London Pat does not think he would be up to it but he has 400 hundred years of ancestry that helped build St Colemans cathedral (Cobh), the stores in Kinsale, Mitchelstown College, Galtee Castle (Tipperary) [demolished 1942] and the list goes on around Cork. Portumna Castle (Galway), Birr Castle (Offaly) It is wonderful to read about it but you have to speak to masons today to realise that masonry was a hard, hard job- there was no romance or glamour- you were building a castle, but by god you worked hard for your money Pat rediscovered this connection with his family and found that some of them were still masons but not working in the way that their ancestors had. Eddie Buckley a cousin of Pat’s was able to tell him about been a stonemason and how hard it was and he said it’s no surprise that a lot of masons took to the drink- one the incessant hard work and also the stone dust Stone carving was probably a bit easier and more creative In those days, there was no health and safety- not an easy job and you’re lugging stone and exposed to the elements It was easy to see why established masons tried to get their sons to college Father Edmond Hogan went to Clongowes in the 1830s since then nearly all of the Hogan’s from that branch of the family have gone to Clongowes So, the masonry has nearly died out in Pat’s family One guy left in Midleton Pat believes that because some of the older masons did not get the money or respect they deserved they don’t value the importance of it So, when younger people talk about the art and craft of masonry they look at you really strange- “if you were out on scaffolding 8 hours a day you wouldn’t be romantic about it” </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.14.48 - 0.19.27 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Stucadoors, Charles Fort, Kinsale, research, tribalism and identity in London, proud of his heritage, the migrant experience Pat’s father was a decorative plasterer- he could do cornices, centre pieces he trained as what was called a stucadoor [plastering technique developed in ancient Greece] He had no great love for it because he didn’t get well paid and wasn’t appreciated for it Pat gets a great buzz from going around Cork looking at buildings that his family helped build If you work in an office you don’t leave much behind but Pat can go to Charles Fort in Kinsale and look at the stores and his great, great, great, great, great grandfather designed and built them They were the main trunk of the family They have hooked up and become friends and helped each other with research Pat’s mother was like a dog with a bone because “the Irish who go away hold on to it” When you go to the maelstrom of London you have to identify yourself very quickly- it’s tribal- (nice quote-16m32s) Pat grew up in the East End of London and there were lots of immigrants- Italians, Polish.

Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event.

Again you look towards the river, with the Sextant corner straight ahead on your right and the opening behind it, which took the track from where the Elysian Tower and complex is now, that was known as the Victoria Quay siding and despite the fact that traffic was going slow, be it road or be it rail, just by the Sextant Bar cutting was the, that was the scene of a fatal accident in 1945, a steam engine as it would have been at the time, pulling some six wagons of grain up from after being loaded off a ship on Victoria Quay, which is now Kennedy Quay, down towards where we’d say the Idle Hour bar and Victoria Road would be, it was proceeding, and the rules of the time were five miles an hour and preceded by a flag man, it the engine was coming out of the siding on to Albert Quay, Albert Street, right in front of the sculpture factory, when it collided with a horse and dray, now the man that was driving the horse and cart sadly was seriously injured and died on the scene, and his name was Walsh and he came from Custom House Street, now Custom House Street is a wide street now but it was a much narrower street at that stage, at that time. There are still some houses in Anderson’s Street, which is a very narrow street there between Parnell Place and Custom House Street and they would have been typical of the houses that would have been in Custom House Street, it was widened when Jury’s Hotel was built and the grain silos, mills and warehouses there were knocked for that building. My mother, my late mother remembers the story of them being trapped for hours in the wreckage and she said all the doctors could do there, they couldn’t free him, was to give him morphine, but he died on, he died at the scene. That was in 1945. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

Eh Jim Clancy sold it in 1987, ’88 and I was there until Jim sold it and it operated for a bit after that but they were trying to transfer the license out to Victoria Cross and they weren’t able to do it. And eventually the place just closed as a pub. GO’D: Right. So what was the heyday like of it? PO’B: Ah stop, well ‘twould have been back probably before I started working there when there was lots of Ford’s and all them were going but like even when I started there in 1981, I think and the place used be packed. I mean ‘twas a small pub, very small pub, you could go in from Patrick Street or go in from, sure everyone knows that you could go in from the Quay and a roundy bar then, roundy bar inside. The place was very small like, very small. GO’D: Okay.

Coming into town they all get off at the statue, Number two, whatever first place you go is across the road to the Swan. It was just a meeting place like.

It was the first cold room in Cork. GO’D: And that was down in the cellar? PO’B: ‘Twas barrels in through the bar sliding down the stairs into the cellar below, and then pulled through and you going up through the floor. The draw took the short straw. Pint was, beautiful pint there because of the cold room and because of the short drop. GO’D: I get ye, and the [word unintelligible] obviously has a big effect on it.

You start working all day ‘till half two, then you close down, the other shift come on, you clean up then, the other shift come on then at half three to half seven, and half seven they close.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com Pat says Bishop Lucey confirmed him in Turners Cross. Pat says also that he was serving as an altar boy at an ordination of a priest and he remembers on the way out seeing Bishop Lucey sitting down and he thought he didn’t look that severe a man. He also says that he had a voluptuous breakfast in front of him and Pat remembers thinking how he’d like to have some of that breakfast. Pat says there was a story told that during Lent Bishop Lucey said you couldn’t eat cakes during lent but you could eat a biscuit. Pat says a Cork firm brought out a cake that looked like a biscuit to get around this and they were nicknamed “Connie Dodgers”. Pat says he didn’t want to be moving out to another church to do the ordination mass and that he wanted to do it in the Cathedral. Pats father said how Bishop Lucey stood up to the Protestants on the Board Of Management Of The Savings Bank. Pat speaks of how a professor of moral theology in UCC at the time of Humanae Vitae made a statement that if anyone had any problems they could come to him and he would give them advice. Pat says when Bishop Lucey heard this he saw red and summoned him to the Bishops Palace. Pat says soon after Fr Paul went out to Africa. He says a time later Bishop Lucey went out to meet him. He says that Fr Good is still alive and living out in Douglas. He is supposed have said that the bishop that he knew here and the bishop out in Africa were two different people. Pat says according to Ger Cassidy (an older former neighbour) there was a sin of company keeping which would involve courting couples. When asked Pat does not recall any controversy about Bishop Lucey and the Film Festival. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com DM: He wasn’t very impressed with Hollywood or with cinema was he? PG: Not particularly. I don’t know if he ever went out to see a film. I presume he did but that didn’t sort of light his fire at all really he had no particular, any interest in film, no particular interest in the theatre as such. Always remember that Fr O Flynn was exercising his ministry as a priest in the Loft and he was very subtly getting across the story of the gospels through the teaching of Christ through the plays of Shakespeare you know? That was his main thrust really so, yeah he certainly was in the 1930s well before I arrived they brought out a pamphlet for one of their shows about the evils of Jazz. They were very, very much opposed to jazz. He was anyway. I think he had convinced a lot of the guys up there at the time, and girls, that jazz, they kind of in a way that they were a little bit superior to that you know? That was, they regarded jazz as a little bit low class and I used to get that from Gus Healy you know who was very deeply involved from the inception of the Loft in 1924 up until he died in 1986 as Chairman of the Loft itself. He’d been Chairman actually since the time Fr O Flynn died in 1962 until he died himself in 86 so in all those years like he guided the Loft on a very steady course of development you know? And like the Loft in those days became a very popular place for aspiring actors, certainly during Fr O Flynn’s time of course and after the War, you know? A lot of young guys and girls that were interested in getting involved in theatre and it was kind of a thing to do at the time if you really wanted to put the stamp on your acting career it was nice to be able to say that you had spent some time in the Loft you know? And even for those who subsequently went on to become professional actors they would often refer to that like, that was where they learned their craft. Of Course, the whole thrust of Fr O Flynn and the Loft was to as he used to say himself constantly to educate the heart and the emotions that went with it. So he had no great interest in, you know, in new attitudes or anything like that that didn’t take that of acting, that didn’t take that into account. No interest in the technicalities of acting you know? That didn’t interest him. But what interested him was getting inside the emotional elements of the characters you played. And he was right because unless you do that your characters are going to come across rather stilted and wooden you know? But by really adopting the characters, kind of a method system really in a way with, I’m sure himself and Stanislavski would have had a great deal in common in that sense you know? But he wasn’t you know, open to any immorality or anything like that although open-minded in his own way. That so often say to them, the older guys when they were coming back on busses from performing and things like that you know, he used to say to them down the back of the bus, he’d be up in the front of the bus and he’d say “no keyhole romancing down there” you know? So like if you were, he didn’t mind you, you know having a bit of a romantic session with your girlfriend but provided you weren’t hiding it so in that sense he was a bit ahead of his time.
