If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com I did a project about six years ago on the Jewish community in Cork and it was a subject that was very close to my heart because my maternal grandparents lived in 31 Geraldine Place in the heart of what the local people affectionately call Jew Town. As David Marcus said in his autobiography Buried Memories, no cartographer actually has it listed as Jew Town on a map of Cork but it’s a distinct place known to everybody just like Ballyphehane or Blackpool or anywhere like that and very close to my heart so I began writing about the Jewish community up at the Folklore Project. I focused in on the history of the Jewish people and their presence in Cork City and some prominent members of the Jewish community who contributed so much so much to Cork life because the Jewish community in academic, economic, social, political circles contributed greatly to the fabric of Cork life and society and also a little bit about their history as they dispersed after the War from Cork.

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.

My father didn’t like the thought of us being inside in the big park with -- not being supervised, you know, and now and then there’d be an expedition and we’d sneak in, because -- that only happened very rarely though because we, we knew we weren’t supposed to do it. But like the swings were in there, you know, and there were some fantastic they were -- swings to us, there were lower ones and then higher ones and then there was a big slide, and like it was a rite of passage as you got older, you were able to climb up to the top of the the slide, that was quite a feat because there would be people directly behind you and in front of you and you’d feel trapped when you’d stand up at the top of the high slide, to, to sit down then to go down the slide, so these sort of things. We had great fun on the occasions when we got in there, but we didn’t often get in there like. And a lot of people went out to the baths that were out the Straight Road. They were -- But we used to go away on a Sunday for a spin like, so we didn’t go out there. Swim, you know. But that was a place where -- that was very busy in the neighbourhood for children as well like. And em -- I can’t think about what else we used to do. Playing in neighbour’s gardens as well like you know, and you’d be safe there. And we had our own particular buddies. They were across the Western Road, one of the little houses was afterwards -- all those houses were sold to the college afterwards. But we used to go down playing down there, but the problem then was that you had to cross the Western Road and that was a bit hazardous like. You know, when we were small that was another embargo, you weren’t allowed to cross the Western Road until we got a bit older. So that was fair enough like, it was very dangerous.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S H: Was Tshombe’s army quite a well-disciplined army by the standards of the place? G G: Tshombe’s army was mainly controlled by mercenaries and the mercenaries came from all over the world, mercenaries from New Zealand, Australia and South America. They were mercenaries proper, mad for a fight, to fight was their lifestyle, you know. We found that they were great, they were white number one. When I went into Luena and took it over, there were Congolese army just on the edge of town and there was a Belgian in charge of it. Jack -- can’t remember his name now, Jack something. But the first night that I was there, I went over into his camp, I rang him up first on the phone, on the army line and I said who I was and that we were here to do a job to stop killing and he said ‘that’s my policy too, in taking this place we killed only a half dozen in the place’. So I went over into his camp, sitting at the table and I said for a start off ‘I have no gun on me, no gun on me, have you?’, ‘I always carry a gun’ he says, you know. I said ‘I wouldn’t like to talk to you with the gun there’, so he took the gun and he said here you have it he says, so that changed that, it went pleasantly then, we had comfort there but if any bit of trouble started I went to him or he went to me. S H: He was a Belgian was he? G G: A Congolese born Belgian, he was a gentleman, only a gentleman. No bother getting on with him, as I said they cleared that area now of the local Congolese tribe and kept the killing down to the minimum anyway. That was the rule.

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 J.M: So you’re constantly building your level of knowledge so, really it’s an ongoing thing rather than it stopped when you finished your trade or your apprenticeship I should say, so it’s actually ongoing your knowledge base, the whole time. . . G.D'S: In all aspects, you know, like even, one thing is very interesting is that Ireland is a big daily producing country: like it comes from cattle, the beef, the lamb, the whole thing, the way they treat it, the way it’s done, even go to English market, like many times I just stand there I say guys now I don’t mean to meddle, I’m just looking at what you’re doing, because like the way they do it, they’re so skilled at their thing, you know the way they cut off you know it’s just the bone left outside you know. Like those are, you go to fish markets and you see so many fresh fishes around, those are the true insights into society and the civilisation, and you know that how do people eat, what do people eat, and then you ask yourself the small questions: why is the fish so expensive and why do so little people eat so little fish, when then you go up and ask people and that’s the way they tell you, well most of it is exported, most of it is sold, and you know like, you know like you know like there are lopsided balances of eating like you know, people probably do an overdose of potato and prefer to die from eating potato, but then that again comes back from, from, from the times and history and if you can relate it then from an outsiders point of view you are like ah solving the jigsaw puzzle in a very positive way, so as you know when you are cooking for a person you will know what to cook, you know, you won’t cook up a whole, whole, whole new Indian meal with Indian gadgets, where you know it’s not working for you, you know, well people would say well it’s lovely but I don’t really eat that, now you know, so you will know that what to eat, you will make up a nice fillet steak with a bit of mash and a bit of gravy or garlic butter you know, like you just know that all those inputs all those inputs strong from around and that is I think that’s a way to go, you know, if you’re moving nobody can try to book for this for you, nobody can tell this to you, and when you can go to a local pub as well and you know down twenty pints and fall on top of somebody and people just laugh at you and they just accept you, and you’re fine you know, so it’s positive, positive. . . J.M: OK very good ok Geoffrey, ok so to round off is there anything else that you would like to add to the interview perhaps a joke or saying from your country? G.D'S: Well, well I think, I don’t really, I, I, I, hate saying this but then I don’t really know how to write my own mother tongue and it’s very hard to remember a joke from those countries (Laughs): I went to school where English was you can say that it was a first language, but it did a lot of good, and so I just say well you know like it’s just been a nice time, and I never regretted coming up here. When I was coming up to Cork and I wasn’t sure a lot of people were telling me that you’re crazy, maybe I thought I was making a mistake, you know and then Cork grew up as well you know with so many Europeans coming in like. I have a friend chef working with me, only we used to have a lot of problem staffing people, but now we have a lot of Slovenians, Slovakians, Georgians, and catering has become a lot more multi-cultural and it’s a lot more easier, and in my way I can see this small city growing up in a very, very positive way as well so I presume that’s a very positive note to end, you know, and, and, and, and, and that’s great to see because you would, you would not like to, and I don’t think any city would like to be just cornered out in a corner and em lay out there as if like oh that’s a tourist destination, go over there, that’s a tourist, and people come up here and they’re intrigued by the churches, the bells, by the small pay of cobble stone ways, sure where the restaurant is we have so many tourists roaming around, looking around, there is a little ballet theatre, you know, it just gives it more often, often Irish identity with a global prospective which is fantastic like you know, and I think that would be the best way to finish the whole thing, that you know it doesn’t come up to be just the typical Irish, Irish thing, or Irish countryside where it’s more Irish, Irish, Irish and nothing else, it just become more global and it’s more mellow, and, and it’s more upbeat, you know, you see a bit of colour, you see a bit of Chinese, you see Italians, you see Indians, they’re all doing their thing, and they all blend in which is fantastic. J.M: Very good, the face of the new Ireland! G.D'S: The face of the new Ireland. J.M: Very good, thank you Geoffrey it was a pleasure. G.D'S: Thanks a million, John.

Title A name given to the resource If the Stones Could Speak: More Stories of Cork’s Built Heritage (2015) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource 9 interviews with 8 people This film project created the sequel to the 2013 CFP film ‘If the Walls Could Talk’. 9 audio interviews were carried out with 8 people, and 3 video interviews with 3 people. 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 St Anne’s Shandon, Collins Barracks, Heineken Murphy’s Brewery, the Everyman Palace Theatre, Cork City Hall, the Imperial Hotel, Cork Synagogue, the Crawford Art Gallery, the Unitarian Church, the Quaker Meeting House, the Lifetime Lab at Old Cork Waterworks, and Fota House and Gardens.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com This was Unitarianism, was illegal up until the early part of the 19th Century in fact it was punishable by death to espouse Unitarian points of view, and understandably Unitarians would of kept their heads low and so and so this church evolved as a liberal Presbyterian church with the lifting of the prohibition on Unitarianism, Unitarian ideas, in the, I think it was 1817. Unitarianism grew as a more identifiable part of the church and this gave rise to friction, and basically there was a schism between the Unitarians who believed in the oneness of God and the Trinitarians who believed in the doctrine of the trinity and that split resulted in eventually Reverent Faris congregation going up, and they eventually built the trinity church and that is how that arose but he is quiet right, the Presbyterians and Unitarians worship here for many, many decades.

Title A name given to the resource Showbands Subject The topic of the resource Interview collection exploring the ‘showband era’ (late 1950s to early 1970s) in Ireland from the perspective of Cork-based musicians and family members. Six audio interviews with eight people totalling 251 minutes. Description An account of the resource In 1996-1997, researcher Stephen Hunter interviewed a range of musicians, family members and one author on their memories of the ‘showband era’ in Ireland. In the first interview, Seán Lucy (clarinet and saxophone player with Cork band the Dixies from 1954) and Terry McCarthy (singer with the Dixies from 1985) speak briefly about their backgrounds and childhoods in Cork before tracing their musical careers and discussing their experiences as members of the Dixies. Tommy Rooney from Crosshaven recounts playing with army and civilian bands (Trumpet player) before founding the Second City Jazz Band, and talks about the showband era and his experiences of playing in Cork and in Protestant halls in Northern Ireland. Pat Nolan, a saxophone and clarinet player who grew up on Cork City’s Northside, traces the rise and fall of the showbands on the Island of Ireland, and describes playing in dancehalls in Northern Ireland. Vincent Power, author of the book Send ‘Em Home Sweatin’, reflects on the showband phenomenon in his interview. Liam Foley from Blackpool, Cork, a drummer and guitarist, recalls his experiences as a musician in that era. Frances McCarthy and Betty O’Mahony, wife and daughter of the late Christy O’Mahony who played bass with the Dixies from 1958-1985, talks about Christy’s involvement with the band.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.H: Do you think the public see a different side of an entertainer like your late husband to what close friends and family do? B.O’M: I don’t know, like they were so well known. Even at the dances they’d know everybody. S.H: So they weren’t really up there as stars? B.O’M: No. I remember once he saw an old friend and he shouted out across the road ‘ Jesus Christ, girl are you still alive?’ You know he was a real Northside man, he never changed over the years. I don’t think he was any different in Las Vegas to the way he would have been at home. S.H: Were you heartened by Northside people after he passed away? B.O’M: So many people rallied round, it was the holiday time and somebody said ‘if they hadn’t been on holiday they’d still be there’ I remember Joe said it and I thought to myself, ‘My god that’s right’. We were so long outside the church we thought that was the end we didn’t realise we had to go to the graveyard after. I said ‘Jesus there’s another funeral ahead of us’. F.Mc: We thought we had come in on top of another funeral. B.O’M: There was so many people, thousands of people, at the grave outside our door they had come with us. But of course he was so well known, at the bar, he was in a partnership with a bar, his brother down in Blackpool for years and years.

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.

I told him one night, it was around Christmas, his family had gone to bed and we were still having a few drinks and I told him by the way and even authorised that he could tell everyone the following day if he wanted so it got out around that particular circle eventually. I never told anybody at work as such except one fellow and that was pure accident, em, I used to work down west Cork at the time but I lived in the city but this one character he used to like to come up to Cork for a few drinks, wouldn’t say every week now but every second week and he tried to make a point of meeting me and we used to always meet on Douglas Street, the Gables generally at the time and eh, I’d want to get down to Loafers before closing time do you know just to see who was around, whatever, he used go nightclubbing the nights he would come up, stay in Cork for the night and go nightclubbing. I was always escaping from him around eleven o clock and em, one night he says to me, em, Fi (possibly short for Finbarr) where do you go now, you always go away around this time, where do you go? I’m dying to know, ah I said I just go down the road to some other pup down there. Which one do you go to and maybe I had a few pints that night and I said well Dennis actually its fucking Loafers and I told him straight out then and he got the biggest land of his life, em, he more or less said he thought I would be the last person in the world to be gay but anyway he said you know what I always wanted to see what that pub is like can I come down with you, so he actually came down with me for a drink that night. DC Ah cool! FK And em I still meet the same guy, I’m gone out of that firm nine years now maybe and he’s gone out of it even before me but we still meet regularly for a drink, well when I say regularly maybe once a year, twice a year max and he never told anyone else down in work so as far as I’m concerned work never knew but I was always, I worked in west Cork, lived in Cork city so the two lives didn’t clash you know, I kept my social life completely separate from work life so as far as I know nobody down there knew, for as long as I was there now maybe I’m wrong maybe they did know and they were just been polite you know as I’m a good actor you know. I worked with another fellow in Cork, em, up to three years ago and god he was every day he’d be telling me about his conquests for the night with different various women whatever, I met the guy there last year for a drink and em, there was another member with us who he had got to know we used to meet kind of regularly and he got to know another gay character with me and the gay fellow was going away one night and my friend says where are you going now and he said I’m going down to Loafers and he said uh and when he was gone the other fellow asked me I never knew he was gay and I says sure you never asked him, I suppose not he said, by the way I am too he said whaaaat…(laughter) now a week later I met him again or two weeks later and as it turned out he ended up coming back here and initiated some sexual activity.

Well, of course as most people who knew him, knew him as a Fianna Fail TD, senator and councillor, obviously. But also, then as lord mayor in 64, 65, and again in 1975, which was the occasion for The Loft members presenting this particular photograph to him. It's a photograph of the city hall as it was in 1896, I think. But that's, that's the background to him. He was…. married to my sister, Rita, and they lived in, in Montenotte area for many years before moving to Blackrock, shortly before he died. A character, there's no question about it. He was small of stature…… had some little bit of a, a disability, I suppose it would be referred to as today. But it was no disability to Gus. He was, as I said, a great character, great sense of humour and, and obviously was very connected to, to The Loft.</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 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.

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com FG: Yeah, I remember people used to come in with orders. It was a form of HP, and I remember the Shawlie ladies coming in and they were very decent people. Very straight to deal with. They were fine. We got a lot of country people then. Especially the church holidays were exceptionally busy. All the farmers would be in and they’d all be looking for bargains and all. I would remember. They also had a tailoring department then. They made clothes for the military. They had a military contract and everything. It was a fine store. It was an awful pity it went. But things changed. Trends, changing trends and fashions and everything. GoD: when you were looking inside what sparked your memory, of any of the articles inside, reminiscences. What got you thinking of all these memories? FC: Yeah. The layout was. We had a very special hat department inside the door I’ll always remember. I spent most of my time in the men’s outfitting they called it. The layout was different. All the stuff was in drawers. Today stuff is on the racks. It is hanging everywhere. But that time, a person came in for socks or anything you had to pull out a drawer and they’d pick and choose. The display was different. And you had these long mahogany counters. And I remember the hat department. While you got some lovely customers, you’d get some, those days, you’d get some very troublesome people. Over the years they became known, and they became known from other shops. We’d see them coming along, maybe down the stairs or coming up the store and we could always duck into the hat department and get away from them. We had great hideouts. Sometimes we could even manage to duck the boss if we saw him on the war path. The layout was better from that point of view. Everything is more open now, you couldn’t get away with anything. There was more crack as well. There was more jokes and playing pranks on people than there is today. My father, God rest him, told me a story that in the early days in the Arcade, well before my time now, or your time, of course, they used to sleep in there. They had a dormitory, especially for fellas coming up from the country. And they’d great fun when fellas would come up from the country. One fella, pretending to be a doctor and he’d be examining and you know and all this. But there was one story told, that they used to go to bed at night. And it was almost like a boarding school. The supervisor would come along with a torch to make sure they were all in bed. Apparently one night one fella ducked out to a dance, and the authorities didn’t know anything about it. They dressed up one of the dummies and put it into his bed in the dormitory. Your man came back from the dance, got into his bed and nothing was known about it. That was one of the funny stories I heard. So, that is as much as I can tell you. GoD: Ah, that’s brilliant. That’s great. Thanks ever so much.

Title A name given to the resource Fergal Crowley: Patrick Street, Munster Arcade, Black and Tans Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Fergal worked in the Munster Arcade, Patrick Street. He describes the shop. His father started work there in 1901. After the building was burned by the Black and Tans during the Burning of Cork, the British government paid to have buildings on one side of the street rebuilt. He remembers and names all the old cinemas of Cork. There was a milk and cake shop near O’Sullivan’s Quay. During the Second World War, he was issued with a gas mask; rationing continued until 1951. He tells a funny story about a Guard and not having a light on his bike. He notes that the city was safe, and contrasts it with today’s more violent society. Fergal talks again about the Munster Arcade; how clothes were displayed. He tells a funny story about sleeping at work and one employee sneaking out to a dance.

The project was concerned with those who had first had experiences of being stricken with the disease, their family members and the public health practitioners who served on the frontline of past epidemics. The diseases the project focused on were: polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria and measles, Spanish flu and COVID-19. The project grew from seed funding through the Irish Research Council and University College Cork's(UCC) College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences. This funding enabled the team to collate material in the Cork Folklore Project's archive and create a pilot online resource. In 2022 the project was awarded an SFI Discover grant that allowed the team to undertake new bespoke interviews and grow the online dissemination platform. To date (February 2023), Catching Stories consists of XX interviews. 'Catching Stories' has also been drawn from the Cork Folklore Project Sound Archive for other related material. The project's main output is an online resource (<a style="color:#4a6ee0;background:transparent;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" target="_blank" href="http://www.catchingstories.org" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.catchingstories.org</a>).

Culture Night 2022 <img class="size-medium wp-image-407 alignnone" src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Culture-Night-2020-30-300x224.jpg" alt="Culture-Night-2020-30-300x224.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Culture-Night-2020-6-300x224.jpg" alt="Culture-Night-2020-6-300x224.jpg" /> For Culture night the team went to the streets to set up a ‘time travelling’ vaccination clinic outside the old medical centre on Grattan St Cork City. Willing participants sat on a bench and heard Joe Scanlon’s story of receiving the ‘Branding Iron’, Joe’s term for the vaccine apparatus used in the 1950s. Joe’s story and the event elicited a great response from those who took part. Science Week 2022 <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" /> Celebrate Science Family Day on 13th November 2022 <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" /> Our first outing for Cork Science Festival was at the ‘Celebrate Science’ Family Day at University College Cork’s Western Gateway Building. For this event, we fired up the ‘Time-machine’ to bring participants on a trip to 1958, the day Joe Scanlon received a vaccine, or as Joe calls it, <a href="https://catchingstories.org/getting-the-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘The Branding Iron’</a>. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" /> The Catching Stories team held four sessions. We played Joe’s story and quizzed our audience on their knowledge of infectious diseases and their memory of receiving vaccines. There was excellent engagement with both young and old. The younger participants left with a greater understanding of diseases like polio and tuberculosis. And the older members relayed their stories of getting vaccinated and how infectious diseases had encroached on their lives. Science Week Talk UCC Student Hub Those who braved the horrendous rain on November 15th were delighted to shelter in The Shtepps to hear the presentation from James Furey and Beth Brint on how folklore and STEM can work together to bring new perspectives on health education and understanding. Exhibition <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/files/original/d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" /> The exhibition in UCC's Boole Library (16 February - 25 June 2023), was an innovative exploration of how to engage people with a topic that does not lend itself too easily to public dissemination. The exhibition foregrounded the human voice through audio installations (Made by Dr Jeffery Weeter), links to interviews, and interaction with physical objects. It invited visitors to join interviewees in the experience of manually ventilating a child with polio throughout the night in 1956 and to move along a waiting-room bench when facing vaccination by the dreaded ‘Branding Iron’ or to imagine the loss of a childhood classmate from measles. Artworks by <a href="https://lesleycoxart.com/earlier-works-3-polio-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lesley Cox</a> also explore the impact of polio on families and communities. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595601-scaled.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595601-scaled.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595744-scaled.jpg" style="width:300px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595744-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595665-scaled.jpg" style="width:650px;height:350px;" alt="1676973595665-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://lesleycoxart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image29.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="image29.jpg" />(©Lesley Cox) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource James Furey Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Cork Folklore Project Audio Archive Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cork Folklore Project Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Cork Folklore Project Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Audio Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource .wav Files Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge.

Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Audio Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 8 .wav files Description An account of the resource This collection of eight interviews concentrates on Cork City’s historic spine, North and South Main Streets. 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.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com TW: Are you familiar with South Main Street? EOB: I am. Not as familiar as I am with North. AB: I lived on South Main Street. I lived over Avesca Funding. We’re still trying to figure out Avesca Funding were. It’s a mystery. EOB: Is that one of the sites that’s in NAMA now (?). I’m not sure. AB: I think it is. It is actually, yeah. Do you think that South Main Street would have the same appeal or is there anything there anymore that could be regenerated? EOB: I think that, actually that’s a good question because right now, you’ve heard about the City Centre Strategy that they’ve put together. We’ve had some consultants who have looked at ideas for the city centre. We’re turning that into an action plan right now. I’m actually tasked with looking at the historic spine from Barrack Street to Shandon so these are things I’ve been thinking about a lot. Getting back to the South Main Street question, we’ve divided it into four sub-areas. South Main Street has its own ting going on and there really isn’t a community there as much as in other places. My hope would be that as the area re-develops, if it’s done well, that forming that basis of community would be part of it too. So maybe there’ll be a new community. I had an architect friend who was saying, not from a religious point of view but just from a community point of view, you kind of think of it as the different medieval parishes along the way and we’ll kind of be re-creating that parish, so to speak, around, I suppose he was saying, around Triskel, St Finbarr’s, the Vision Centre, St Anne’s as you move up the historic spine.

Title A name given to the resource Erin O'Brien: Historic Spine Subject The topic of the resource North Main Street and South Main Street Description An account of the resource Erin O’Brien is originally from Nebraska but has lived in Ireland since 1993. She is a planner at the Planning Department at City Hall and she also lives on North Main Street. In this interview, she takes an in-depth look mostly at North Main Street, and details potential ideas for re-development and maintaining the character of the area. She states specifically, that she works in the Planning Department and consults regularly with the Conservation Officer, archaeologists, and Heritage Officer in her efforts to discover what kind of development would best suit different parts of the city. Explaining that she is in charge of looking at the Historical Spine (“Barrack Street to Shandon”) under the City Centre Strategy, she discusses the types of activity and development that a given “zone” will be able to accommodate, stressing that North Main Street does not have the specifications to attract high street retail like St Patrick Street (and that this is a good thing!) The aim, she states, is to promote the development of North Main Street as a kind of bohemian area for a younger crowd. She explains that the demographic (current as of the time of this interview) in the North Main Street area are mostly in their 20s, international in origin, and in the tech sector commuting outside City Centre for work. The struggle, additionally, is to keep businesses alive in the North Main Street area. There is mention of the “Living Above the Shops Scheme” as well as discussion of the knocking down of buildings that had fallen into disuse and that were no longer safe, i.e. “gap sites”. Erin highlights that Cork City Centre has a very high number of independent shops compared to city centres in the UK and elsewhere and that this is one of the charms of the city. The discussion also features a good amount of back and forth between the interviewers and the interviewee with an appreciation for sites like the Old Beamish Brewery (and it’s Christmas Tree) and the former Liberty Pub as well as a general appreciation for the small neighbourhood atmosphere to be found particularly on North Main Street.

The project was concerned with those who had first had experiences of being stricken with the disease, their family members and the public health practitioners who served on the frontline of past epidemics. The diseases the project focused on were: polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria and measles, Spanish flu and COVID-19. The project grew from seed funding through the Irish Research Council and University College Cork's(UCC) College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences. This funding enabled the team to collate material in the Cork Folklore Project's archive and create a pilot online resource. In 2022 the project was awarded an SFI Discover grant that allowed the team to undertake new bespoke interviews and grow the online dissemination platform. To date (February 2023), Catching Stories consists of XX interviews. 'Catching Stories' has also been drawn from the Cork Folklore Project Sound Archive for other related material. The project's main output is an online resource (<a style="color:#4a6ee0;background:transparent;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" target="_blank" href="http://www.catchingstories.org" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.catchingstories.org</a>).

Willing participants sat on a bench and heard Joe Scanlon’s story of receiving the ‘Branding Iron’, Joe’s term for the vaccine apparatus used in the 1950s. Joe’s story and the event elicited a great response from those who took part. Science Week 2022 <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" /> Celebrate Science Family Day on 13th November 2022 <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" /> Our first outing for Cork Science Festival was at the ‘Celebrate Science’ Family Day at University College Cork’s Western Gateway Building. For this event, we fired up the ‘Time-machine’ to bring participants on a trip to 1958, the day Joe Scanlon received a vaccine, or as Joe calls it, <a href="https://catchingstories.org/getting-the-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘The Branding Iron’</a>. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" /> The Catching Stories team held four sessions. We played Joe’s story and quizzed our audience on their knowledge of infectious diseases and their memory of receiving vaccines. There was excellent engagement with both young and old. The younger participants left with a greater understanding of diseases like polio and tuberculosis. And the older members relayed their stories of getting vaccinated and how infectious diseases had encroached on their lives. Science Week Talk UCC Student Hub Those who braved the horrendous rain on November 15th were delighted to shelter in The Shtepps to hear the presentation from James Furey and Beth Brint on how folklore and STEM can work together to bring new perspectives on health education and understanding. Exhibition <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/files/original/d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" /> The exhibition in UCC's Boole Library (16 February - 25 June 2023), was an innovative exploration of how to engage people with a topic that does not lend itself too easily to public dissemination. The exhibition foregrounded the human voice through audio installations (Made by Dr Jeffery Weeter), links to interviews, and interaction with physical objects. It invited visitors to join interviewees in the experience of manually ventilating a child with polio throughout the night in 1956 and to move along a waiting-room bench when facing vaccination by the dreaded ‘Branding Iron’ or to imagine the loss of a childhood classmate from measles. Artworks by <a href="https://lesleycoxart.com/earlier-works-3-polio-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lesley Cox</a> also explore the impact of polio on families and communities. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595601-scaled.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595601-scaled.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595744-scaled.jpg" style="width:300px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595744-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595665-scaled.jpg" style="width:650px;height:350px;" alt="1676973595665-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://lesleycoxart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image29.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="image29.jpg" />(©Lesley Cox) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource James Furey Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Cork Folklore Project Audio Archive Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cork Folklore Project Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Cork Folklore Project Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Audio Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource .wav Files Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge.

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.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com F Q: Was it then that you left Nigeria? E I: No. I left in two-thousand and two because, when I moved out of Kaduna, I had to stay over in the university campus —which is the Montebello University— where my Internet café… I was running the Internet café. So, that was where the business was… I shot home from Kaduna in the mornings over there to Zaria, and the close of the business for the day. I also shot over… go over back to Kaduna. So while I moved my family, I rented a house in Zaria —which was the university community, the city where the university is—. So, in two-thousand and two… There has been a sustained process whereby the Muslim students usually win the student annual elections; they have always held all the positions: the president, the secretary, finance… all the positions they take over. And… when I came in, I started running the Internet café. I had good patrons… I was getting good patrons because often internet cafés… well, I was doing well and I had good people working with me —and working for me—. But on that time we now sort of had you know, meetings. There was meetings you know, church groups, but meetings amongst the students who were Christians at least… the kind of getting together to be together and talking about matters that affects Christians in the campus. So, it happened that in one of the… within those times we now floated a fellowship and, at that fellowship, it was when we started… I also introduced ideas about how to really, you know, offset the imbalance and the idea was, at least, to be more involved… the students getting more involved —at least getting into good positions— so that that would actually change the imbalance or the status quo. Then, I promised them to provide the assistance needed —well, financially the way that I can—: the posters, I undertook the posters; I sponsored one of the students, a Christian. I saw to it that, you know, the students got good following for him, doing a bit of… kind of, good publicity. And that actually was able to… the votes tilted when the election came: it was in favour of this Christian boy, and he got elected. When the Muslims —as soon as that— saw that they had actually lost grounds, they objected and attacked the voting group, some of them who were Christians… came down on the students. And it was widely reported in the papers and in the media because about fifty students got killed and some hospitalised; a lot of girls were raped, Christian girls were raped and some had serious injuries, you know, fatal injuries and were admitted in hospitals. They came down my end, but I was lucky to get a tip-off one of the Muslim boys who usually patronised me and he said his conscience tells him that he wouldn’t be happy if he allows me fall into their hands. So he forewarned me that, at this time, this is what is going to happen; I shouldn’t come out to the business —to the internet café—; I must leave that city at once because the whole target is that, if they get to me —and that boy who won—, automatically they have broken our base. So, when they got to the internet café, we were locked, you know, we were closed. And they tattered the place because it was me always using their container —a forty feet container, two forty feet and a twenty feet container— so it was all mashed together but I was paying for the long space to the school authorities. So I got the masts, [because usually we don’t have easy connection, so we build a hundred and twenty feet masts so we can get the line of connection into the… between the radio that I am using and the base station that supplies connectivity]. So, some of them climbed up to the masts, brought down the radio —you know, because usually we use the radio on the mast— and the antenna, destroying it; he hacked the keys out from the locks, went in there; virtually ransacked the whole place; took off computers and… they did so many things and the authorities, the law enforcement were nowhere. A lot of us called out… a lot of the students —Christian students who ran to safety— called out to the police and nobody came!

Title A name given to the resource Emeka Ikebuasi: Customs, Nigeria, Political Unrest, Stories, Refugee Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork; Ireland; Nigeria; Description An account of the resource Emeka Ikebuasi from Nigeria describes the harrowing political events which led to his family coming to Cork as refugees. He talks, in depth, of his village upbringing in Nigeria and highlights village ceremonies, the telling of stories, witch doctors and holiday customs. Emeka was born in Kaduna State, Northern Nigeria, Africa. There were ten children in his family. The first two children came from his father’s first marriage. Emeka describes the village he grew up in as clustered, with neighbours living just a few metres from each other. They didn’t have toys but played street games like football and rolling tyres. They sang songs as the community gathered in the moonlight and the children played hide and seek. Their grandmother told them stories that carried moral themes. Emeka’s paternal grandfather was a tribal leader. Emeka recalls the story of his grandfather’s death: how someone with a grievance got a witch doctor to put a curse on him. Emeka talks about how African weddings are more traditional; how the families come together to prepare the food and palm wine and how certain dishes must be there for the wedding to be regarded as a proper wedding. The actual ceremony is the father of the bride presenting a glass of wine to his daughter who gives it to her future husband. Children received small gifts of money and clothes at Christmas. They might witness the slaughter of a goat or chicken for the meal. Festivities could last for three days. The family fled Kaduna in 2000 because of religious wars between Christians and Muslims and the introduction of Sharia Law. Their home was burnt down and the family circle moved to safety to other African states. Emeka describes the horror of people being murdered and corpses lying on the street for days. Emeka came to Ireland in 2002 after his business was destroyed in riots and his family was under threat. He describes coming to Cork via Dublin and staying in Glounthaune until he set up home in Carrigaline. There are a number of African shops and restaurants and Emeka describes all the different African states that are represented in Cork: How they all speak broken English to understand each other. The Cork Inter-Cultural Group was set up to help change negative perceptions of minority groups. Emeka outlines its many activities for children and adults and discusses the social and cultural gatherings he has been involved in. He comments on the care and support he received from Cork people. Emeka reflects on how safe Cork is and how he can wake up and ‘find his head where he left it’.

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.

Now I was born in ’31 and we’ll say that was all through the thirties now. The war started in ’39 and things were very bad, we were very poor like, but we didn’t know it. I mean in relative to today now we were very poor but ya see everybody was the same, so you didn’t realise you were poor. ’Tis only if you -- by comparison, that you realise you’re poor. If everybody is the same it doesn’t make any difference ya see. But the war came then and shortages like I mean, the rationing and everything and I was only thinking there now last week something struck me. Em, I love, I’d love now a heel of bread, a crusty heel of a skull and put loads of butter on it. And I did that last week and I was there on me own and I had a grand crusty heel and I was -- and I just thought, I remember, going back now, I’m going back to the time of the war. We had only an ounce, two ounces of butter or something that’s all you’d get. And I loved butter and I hated margarine. Couldn’t oh, I couldn’t stick the taste of the margarine. My mother used to scrape the margarine on the bread the way that I wouldn’t get the taste of it but I could taste it like. And em, I remember one time she was so mad at me now giving out about the margarine she gave me me own two ounces of butter for to manage meself for the week. Ya see she cut a bit of butter and she gave it to me on the small plate and she said, ‘There now,’ she said. ‘Eat that now or you can, you can eat it all today but you’ll have nothing for the week.’ And I got the butter anyway and I was being very careful and next thing now like that I got a heel and I decided put it, what I had left on top of the heel. And I sat down and ate it and me mother totally told my father and all when he came in from work, ‘Never believe what she’s after doing. The only bit of butter she have left for the week she’s after eating it on a crust of bread.’ So that was like, but I enjoyed it and I loved it d’ya know now what I? Now I didn’t do it anymore because I found having margarine for the rest of the week wasn’t great like but I enjoyed it. But isn’t it funny how things would remind ya? Last week now that reminded me of -- you know? 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 Eileen Jones: Blackpool, Shawlies, Sunbeam, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Eileen Jones (b. 1931) was born in Millfield Cottages. When she was 4 years old her family moved to Welsh’s Lane in Blackpool; members of her extended family lived nearby. Her mother was born in 1896. Her father was a builder’s labourer. There was no secondary school in Blackpool, but some students could stay on in primary school. She left at 14. She praised a teacher, Miss Hourigan, who gave the class a love of the ritual of the mass, and of basic maths and arithmetic, which stood to them in later life. Eileen worked in the Sunbeam factory, and in Cork Spinning Company. She later got a job in Roches Stores, and she tells the story of how she came to get chosen for the job. She talks in detail about the neighbourhood of Welsh’s Lane; how visiting strangers were quizzed. Children played out all day, their meals served according to the time kept by a local factory siren. She recalls some of the words of the rhymes they sang while skipping. She lists the names of the lanes she knew in her youth. Mentions that Kilcully graveyard had a lot of Traveller graves [Interviewee calls the Travellers ‘gypsies’] She remembers the names of local shops; and The Co-Op where you earned stamps to exchange for goods. She talks about a savings bank in St Mary’s Hall; it was a shilling to join. Eileen remembers the clothes women wore before the war: shawls, kitchen aprons, petticoats. Her grandmother wore a black shawl; Traveller women wore fawn and brown plaid shawls. She tells a story about a woman who collected shawls from the deceased when they were laid out. When she was born she was not expected to live and was taken close care of. She tells the story of her being christened with a name chosen by the priest. She worked in the Sunbeam factory. Her supervisor lead prayers during the day. She didn’t like the portrayal of the workers in “The Sunbeam Girls”. The women workers sang as they worked. Eileen also recalls bonfire night, drinking ‘razza’ and listening to people singing. Workers could go for baths in the Sunbeam factory; few people had baths in their houses.

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.

And of course then like the old home, like, they believe in this month like, the Snap-Apple there, the Samhain, that the Almighty gives permission to the people to come to their house, that are gone. To visit their house that night. And again, like, some of the older women would light a plum candle, that night, and clean it, and have the house nice and clean. And there was no fear. I mean there wouldn’t be fear of anything like it was just done. S.H: Yeah. On the All Saints’ Eve, 31st of October? E. dB: Yeah. The candle would be lit, by them. S. H: What was the common name in Cork for that eve, was it All Saints’ Eve, or Hallowe’en or Snap-Apple Night? E. dB: Snap-Apple Night, sure when we were children it would be Snap-Apple Night, you know? S.H: There seems to have been some confusion. You know how All Souls’ Day is the 2nd of November, the feast following All Saints’. But in earlier times people sometimes referred to Hallowe’en as All Souls’ Night, is that right? E. dB: Well that only came with Christianity. The Church like were kind of crabbid like that, and you see, pre-Christian it was a big, big, big ceremony, with you know different things all the, you must remember, the apples are in, the harvest is in, the men are coming in, they won’t have to watch the shores for the Vikings with the storms and things, and you see like it was a big huge thing. But like the Church, they didn’t take it from us, the little magic. But they had to put “All Saints’ ” and they had to put “All Souls’ ” in it to diminish it a bit because you know, what we believed is, you know is, to hold us, to bring us into a different belief. So that would have been that. S. H: Yes. Did you ever hear it referred to as “All Souls’ Eve,” as well? E. dB: I did. Oh yes, “All Souls’, ” oh yeah? S. H: And people would know that you were meaning the 31st. of October, rather than the 1st of November? E. dB: Oh, they would, sure that’s the night, long ago then, we’d have to try and be home before 12 o’clock, we’d be frightened, you know now. You wouldn’t be out that night late. You see, on the streets. S. H: And did you hear of people making visits to graveyards around that time, pray for deceased relatives? E. dB: Oh, I did of course. There is an indulgence now, they say like, you know. I’ve been out now in Douglas there in the graveyard last week, I was doing a bit of work, and I be going around to Saint Finbarr's now, doing a little bit of work this week, please God, and I’ll call into Saint Finbarr's, we’re supposed, you know, to remember him and pray for him and they say like, you know, that time you could get out very easy, out of you know, if you were down, paying for your little wrongs, you could, you know, get a small bit... S. H: Yeah, a discount. E. dB: Yeah, it was a grand bit, yeah, that’s the idea, sure that’s what’s lovely. Indulgence. No fear or nothing, but, a thinking of those that are gone.

Title A name given to the resource Eibhlís de Barra: Northside, Gender, Childhood Games Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Eibhlís was born on the Southside of Cork. Her husband was from Blarney Street, on the Northside. She recalls childhood games such as The Chaineys, and The Gobs, and Scaa, the latter two played with small stones. She quotes some of the skipping rhymes and remembers the rope games. Eibhlís comments on the value of the Irish language, and on English as spoken in Cork. She talks about home births, and about the process of dying at home, comparing it to sanitised hospital scenarios. Traditions of All Souls and All Saints Day. After marriage, it was traditional for the woman to live near her mother and grandmother; for the man to move to her area. She recalls the important role of women in families; men were left to their hobbies and remained peripheral. She talks about the importance of storytelling and tells a story about a clever man making a wish with a fairy. She muses on Irish history and concludes that the rich always betray the poor. She tells a story about two Scottish men who died fighting for Ireland at different times, one being ‘Colkitto’ [also known as Alasdair Mac Colla (d.1647)]. Eibhlís remembers Mardyke in her youth, says it was better then. There was a men’s part to the area, where men gathered to play cards. She talks about the rivalry between Northside and Southside and the sometimes violent rivalry between GAA clubs Barrs and The Glen (St Finbarr’s and Glen Rovers). There was a shop in Barrack Street where women could leave their children while they went to work. She describes people from the Northside as a distinct people, who were rogues but could be very nice. She speaks about the War Of Independence and Black And Tans drunken rampages during the curfews. She speaks of two brothers who were on opposite sides during the Irish Civil War where one shot the other.

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.

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).

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.

Yeah, 71’ or ‘73 I forget what year. I have always been interested that we should always keep cutting out everything. I mean I worked in RTE and I was in the film Department and when we would be going out on the road I was well known going into the van with the Irish Times, the Irish Press, the Irish Independent as I went through all the papers, cutting everything out, cutting them perfect, putting the date on, and it went into the Archive of the Irish Gay Rights movement at that time, and I kept an interest in Archives and I mean I did a film about the Irish gay people because I felt it was very important, it shouldn’t be lost and about two and a half three years ago I thought, would you get and interview people about there story what it was like, growing up as being gay and lesbian, I mean at the time, we found that the gay movement, we were all known as homosexual people. There was no, there might have been lesbians we didn’t know about transgender and we didn’t know what the word gay was except having a great time on Gay Byrne, people like that, and it just, it is the sort of thing, I have always been interested, that we should always have information and it is the same way even today, when I have my coffee and everything else in the Irish Film Centre, I always sit at table thirteen, and people say why table thirteen? I say it is the best seat to see everyone that comes in for coffee, so you don’t miss anyone that you may have known or didn’t know. So I have been always interested in gathering up information because I think the more information we have, the easier it is to tell a story. DC And throughout your years in RTE, did you always, did you feel like you were going to do something like this later. EL Yeah, I mean RTE wasn’t a gay area as it may be now, a lot of gay people, the only time it was gay it was at Christmas, when the lights were turned on, in the whole complex, you know, outside and everything else. I, I came out as being gay in RTE I didn’t care, and I always learned that word, F off which was really good, you could say it nicely and you could say it hard, but I didn’t put up with people who were anti-gay, a lot of people might have been anti because they didn’t know what gay was. And I was a, when RTE did programmes about like Cathal O’Shannon and things like that, I knew about it, they would ask me about certain things. Because people made them, oh this is a new story lets get out and be the first ones with it, but RTE wasn’t a pro-gay, but it wasn’t anti. SD Right. Can you tell us about your vision for your project, what is your end result? EL My end result of this project is, that our history isn’t forgotten, that it has been available to everyone, especially for the thousands of young, gay and lesbian and transgender people coming on, that they will know something of their history their story, because their story has been told by people, it has not being told by me, I am just acting as the, I won’t say a judicator because I am not going to be judicate, I’m a facilitator I think would be a better word of getting people telling the story I may, bring them in a certain direction, to make sure that they haven’t forgotten something, you know, which is important like. I interviewed someone recently and I was out, at the GALA Awards did someone mention did so and so mention about, when I person died from an AIDS-related disease, the undertakers wouldn’t take the body, they had to prepare it, so there was a group of people in Dublin who were preparing peoples bodies for, for burial, I didn’t know about my in Dublin, I was in the middle of a lot of things, but I didn’t know about that, but that sort of story, and I also talking to people, who talk about their children that they have adopted and so forth, and I, you know I have learnt a lot of thing. A lot of single older gay men, may not have known that they were gay, but they were the one people that were left at home to mind there mothers to look after them in old age, and people tend to forget that, and they also tend to forget the amount of good work, be the people that have been priests, pastors, have have, done. But there are stories that I am getting out of people but it is in their words and of course before I interview anybody, they have to sign a release form, and maybe doing everything on television but that is so I can get the transcript, the transcriptions done but it also means that it can be made into programmes but only with their permission but if they decide, they do not want it to be transmitted and that, that doesn’t, it doesn’t get done. And it is going to a University, University of Galway and it will be available to everyone, it is not going into the National Archives because I regard it as a black hole of Calcutta. SD Okay DC Okay. SD And can you tell us so a little bit about the book that you plan from your Irish LGBT History Project? EL I have been in touch with the History book of Ireland and they are willing to publish it. They have been talking about cutting it back and I have, and still say no. I am a person that, I think it needs to be bigger. I think I showed you the size, I think the book can be done so I can everything in, but every person I have interviewed, I have all passed it over too, a friend of mine who is a barrister and every interview has been checked, for example, anyone a promise have been named, their name has been changed, unless you give permission for the name to be left in it or they have died because I can’t be sued if they die. SD Right, and the format that the book will take, is it going to contain direct transcripts or are you going to break everything down into themes or? EL It maybe still open, it may be down to themes and then again it may not. I am one of these people, an ex-television person, you don’t make up your mind till nearer the time, and I think there would be a mixture of both. SD Okay, can you talk to us a little bit about the documentary that you directed, did anyone notice us? EL Well I am happy to say, it was shown down here at the Cork Film Festival and it was a surprise to me that I won, I didn’t realise that, I came up with the idea, in RTE, went to Cathal Cohen who was, he wasn’t director general then, no he was head of programmes and I said Cathal, I would like to do it, you know and I said not for the organisation, can I have the use of all, all the footage, and it was forty thousand pounds worth of stuff, he said, go on, it wasn’t costing them money and so I got it all. And I knew what was in the library, that was a good thing about it and then I sat down to write a story and decided what was the best way to do it, and I thought that some classic stuff and I thought that Gay Byrne was so good, when the woman who was talking to, when she was talking about the inserter and the insertee, you know, and it’s a film that is available to everyone but someone without my permission put it on Youtube and I haven’t had, I didn’t bother take it down. I didn’t mind but I think it is important for people to have it. SD Right and the dates of that documentary go from 1973 to 1993? EL That’s when the law, we were all marching up after the law was changed. SD Why 1973, is that our earliest RTE records of that. EL It was the earliest that RTE would have, I think it was the first one they did, was The Late Late Show, with Rose Robertson, which unfortunately was wiped, and you know that was the time they were doing it, you know that was the time they were doing it that, I think the only thing was, was a piece on the radio, done by Líam Nolan talking to two gay people at the start of the first gay conference. DC And that was in 73? EL Yeah, which I was one of the people organising it. But I mean the Late Late Show, I asked Gay Byrne would he agree to have Rose Robertson on and talk about the, yeah, I said would you pay here fare over you know and the hotel, as you would with your guests, yes I would do all that.
