Work with us

The Discovery Programme collaborates with other organisations in all aspects of its work. We have worked with organisations around Ireland to develop events and exhibitions.

We are actively seeking new partners across the island of Ireland to develop public archaeology projects.

We work closely with local heritage groups on community heritage projects. We provided support to the Glendalough heritage Forum in the compilation and design of the booklet to accompany their graveyard trail.

We provide training and support to the Corca Dhuibhne 3D project who use photogrammetry to record carved stone and other monuments in their area.

Heritage officers

We worked closely with Heritage Officers wherever we are carrying out our research. They provide fantastic support, helping us reach out to the public, local press and heritage organisations in their counties, as well as providing very important local information.
