Grangegorman Histories
Overview
In the past 250 years, Grangegorman has been the site of a workhouse, a hospital and a prison, and now is being integrated into the city as a health, education and community campus. The buildings of Grangegorman stand as architectural monuments to that past and its complex histories.
Grangegorman Histories offers a diverse programme of events, publications and learning opportunities help to uncover the history of the site and surrounding communities. The Grangegorman Development Agency (GDA) and the Royal Irish Academy lead this public history programme of research and shared discovery, supported by the Grangegorman Histories Expert Working Group.
