DIFP enters the 1950s

25 April 2014
DIFP was busy all through April with DIFP IX. With the typescript coming in we were checking the text by reading the typescript out loud and following it against images of the original documents. By the end of the month we had finished 1948 and 1949, which will constitute the majority of DIFP IX and were into the 1950s for the first time.

At the end of the month Irish Migrants in New Communities (eds Mícheál Ó hAodha and Máirtín Ó Catháin) was published (see here): Kate has a chapter in the book on the Irish in post-independence India - ‘“Nobody’s baby”: Forgotten Irish nationals in post-independence India’.
