Celebrating Ulster's Townlands Exhibition
|

 |
|
| Project Description A place-name exhibition for the Millennium put together by the Ulster Place-Name Society. The travelling exhibition celebrates the history and promotes the future of Ulster's place-name heritage. There is a special emphasis on the names of townlands, a land division which exists all over Ireland, but nowhere else. The exhibition concentrates on the province of Ulster, and particularly that part of it in Northern Ireland, the area covered by the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project database in Queen's University Belfast. Many other place-names are included, in the various languages which have been spoken in Ulster, but the emphasis is on those names which now need explanations of their meaning. |
