NI Prison Service Collection | Troubles & Beyond

Описание: In 2018, the Ulster Museum received a donation from the Northern Ireland Prison Service, comprising of homemade tools and weapons, uniforms, prison artwork, maps and photographs, notices, contraband, objects modified to conceal contraband and body armour. The material relates predominantly, but not exclusively, to HMP Maze.

A documentation project began to catalogue, assess and digitise each item in this large and historically significant collection.

This video will show some specific items from the collection, led by Rebecca Laverty, Curator of Modern History.

Troubles and Beyond is a strategically important area for the Ulster Museum. It positions the museum as a safe and trusted space that encourages discovery and dialogue about the legacy of our past. This work programme will seek to amplify Ulster Museum‘s work in this area.
