The IRISH HERITAGE STUDIES journal showcases original critical research rooted in the substantial portfolio of material culture in the care of or managed by the Office of Public Works: built heritage; historic, artistic, literary and scientific collections; the national and international histories associated with these places and objects; and its own long organisational history. Papers will contribute to a deeper understanding of this important collection of national heritage and investigate new perspectives on aspects of its history. The journal is designed for a broad public, specialist and professional readership. Established in 1831 (and with antecedents dating back to 1670), the OPW is a central government office with responsibility for managing much of the Irish State’s property portfolio, and maintaining and presenting 780 heritage sites including national monu ments, historic landscapes, buildings and their collections.
