Stand Up and be Counted! - Suffrage and gender in Ireland during the Decade of Centenaries and beyond

To mark the Representation of the People Act 1918, PRONI has developed a number of online resources in collaboration with the Nerve Centre.   

This Stand Up and Be Counted education pack features extensive archival material about the suffrage movement, repurposed in a digital format with interactive timelines, video content and quiz questions.

The original archival documents made available as part of this online resource will allow anyone interested in the themes of suffrage, gender and democracy – or indeed the wider Decade of Centenaries – to explore original documents created at the time. This resource will not only widen access to PRONI archives, but will exemplify how they can be used to engage people in a conversation, exploring the relevance of historical events in today’s society.
