How did Liverpool react to the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin? What do we know about the Liverpool people who took part? The researchers who devised this exhibition, together with archivist Helena Smart, will talk about their work and what they have discovered about this forgotten chapter of local history, providing a fascinating insight into the library itself, its resources, and local history.

Told through documents, photographs and articles in an exhibition of materials ordinarily held by the Liverpool Record Office and Central Library, with additional material from the Liverpool 1916 Commemoration Committee these stories are revealed.
