3D Digital Humanities And Heritage

A project is a collection of narratives in 3D and may entail multiple 3D scholary editions.

25 Northumberland Road at the Battle of Mount Street Bridge

Contested Memories is a long-term research project investigating the Battle of Mount Street Bridge through new technologies. The battle was the first confrontation on Wednesday 26 April 1916 between the Irish Volunteers and the British troops sent to quell the Irish Easter Rising. The 3D editions developed as part of the project each tell the story of the battle from a different perspective, focusing on key buildings and combatants.

The Battle at 25 Northumberland Road: A 3D Scholarly Edition

This 3D Scholarly Edition utilises a 3D reconstruction to contextualise and narrate the events focusing the first building the British troops (The Sherwood Foresters) encountered on the afternoon of 26 April 1916 on their march into the city centre. The building was held by Irish Volunteers Michael Malone and James Grace of C Company, 3rd Battalion of the Dublin Brigade of Irish Volunteers. Sources agree that the battle began around 12.30 on Wednesday afternoon as the Volunteers shot at oncoming British troops. The time the building fell is contested as sources provide varying accounts.
