100 years ago, as the steps towards independence gathered momentum, many staff, students and graduates of University College Dublin played a pivotal role in the discourse and actions that took place.
Today, University College Dublin continues to value the ethos of justice and equality, alongside a sense of cultural identity that shapes our thinking and prompts our debate.
As a major holder of archives of national and international significance relating to the period 1912 to 1923, our vision for these commemorations is to inform national debate and understanding with an objective scholarly voice, in a manner that brings education and new perspectives to the fore.
Cothrom le céad bliain ó shin, agus an feachtas ar son neamhspleáchais ag bailiú nirt, ghlac mic léinn, baill foirne agus céimithe de chuid na hOllscoile páirt ríthábhachtach sa díoschúrsa agus sna gníomharthaí a bhí ag tarlú san am sin.
Sa lá atá inniu ann tá an ceart agus an chothromaíocht chomh tábhachtach is a bhí riamh don Choláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath. Creidimid san fhéiniúlacht chultúrtha a tharraingíonn le chéile muid, féiniúlacht a mhúnlaíonn ár n-aigne agus a spreagann chun plé muid.
Mar príomhchoimeádaí arcíveanna a bhaineann le tréimhse 1912-1923 a bhfuil tábhacht náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta leo is í an fhís atá againn don tréimhse chomórtha seo ná páirt scolártha, oibiachtúil a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht náisiúnta ar bhealach a chuireann an t-oideachas agus an léann is úire chun cinn.
