In this seminar Aidan Kane will present his research work on the Duanaire project,  which aims to open up a wealth of Irish economic history data, and in particular, Irish fiscal history data, by making accessible online a range of datasets in flexible forms to diverse audiences. The project is constructing a unique infrastructure for the imaginative curation, exploration, and sharing of significant tranches of Irish economic history data. He will also draw out wider lessons for the potential and applicability of historical data sets in business and economics research.
