Peace Process Database
Peace Process: Layers of Meaning is a hybrid project involving collaboration between Queen Mary, University of London, Trinity College Dublin and Dundalk Institute of Technology. The project has three main elements: the collection and storage of one hundred heritage interviews of the recollections and views of key figures in the Peace Process; the imparting of interview skills to students, teachers and community members in the border area; and the development of an online directory of all extant interviews relating to the Peace Process (LOMOND).
The LOMOND directory is intended as a select but authoritative archive, maintained regularly and available on-line, providing an essential research tool for students across the educational spectrum. In the manner of a decades-long time-lapse camera, it will permit users to access an instructive and suggestive record of changes in thinking, in public styles and statements, in sets of possibilities, in pressures experienced and insights gained or rejected. This adds a dynamic and human dimension (in the sense of fallibility) that would otherwise largely perish, to the impoverishment of understanding. In concept and design it is intended to draw attention to the many layers of peacemaking and conflict.
LOMOND is available at: http://www.peaceprocesshistory.org/lomond
