If you’d like to get involved or learn more, we’d love to hear from you!

Research

Research is at the heart of what we do. Many of our projects explore local stories, people, places, and events, helping to uncover and preserve the rich history of Crumlin, Walkinstown, and the surrounding areas.

We’ve identified over 500 topics we hope to explore — from old buildings and local businesses to historical events and family histories. Our findings are shared through our Research Hub, public talks, heritage signage scheme, walking tours, exhibitions, and online publications.

You don’t need any prior experience to get involved — we can guide you through the process and provide support along the way. Our team collaborates using a private research workspace, where members can access upcoming topics, share notes, and develop drafts before publication.

If you’re curious, enjoy digging into the past, or just want to get started on something local and meaningful, visit our Research Hub, to explore our work — or get in touch to join our research team.
