Event Description

Discover Mapping History: Explore our exhibition on the Ordnance Survey’s first detailed mapping of Ireland, carried out 200 years ago.

This exhibition is on tour with Libraries NI until June 2027 and will be popping-up in many different locations. Visit our events page to see if it’s at a library near you.

Maps & Memories is a 2 year community heritage project that marks 200 years since the first mapping survey began on Divis Mountain by the Ordnance Survey. These early efforts laid the foundations for how we understand land, ownership, identity & geography across the island today – with continued cultural, political & scientific significance.
