For #HistFest23 Drs Anne Dolan and Eve Morrison show how ground-breaking software Transkribus read the famously illegible notebooks of Ernie O'Malley, Irish revolutionary.

A public lecture discussing the project to transcribe and edit the notebooks will be held at noon, Saturday 7 October in 45 Merrion Sq.

The notebooks form part of Ernie O'Malley's papers held in UCD Archives.
