It records the topographical development of urban settlements and is part of a larger European project that has over 620 atlases published.</p><p>This two-hour workshop will take place in the Royal Irish Academy where participants will learn about the origins of the IHTA as well as how to use it as a tool in researching Dublin’s urban and suburban topographical history.
