Abstract

The release of testimony by veterans of the Irish Revolution over the Decade of Centenaries has invigorated public and scholarly interest in this formative period, allowing for the emergence of new stories and perspectives. This essay explores how this blurring of boundaries between archive, memory, and historiography is facilitating new approaches, such as the history of emotions and the family, which can broaden our understanding of the impact and social memory of the Revolution.
