Scope and content
Two typed copies of a talk entitled 'The ABC of Mapping', given by Robinson at the Researching the Burren conference held in Ballyvaughan in February 1999. In the talk, Robinson reflects on when he first mapped the Burren in 1976, describing his methodology, and reading extracts from his diary at the time. He outlines contrasts between 'the two dates upon which the Burren year hinges' and farming practice in Connemara. Of the placenames he says 'placename studies in Ireland are a rescue-archaeology of a shallowly buried sacred landscape'.
Two newspaper clippings of articles written by Eileen Battersby for the Irish Times reporting on the conference and quoting Tim Robinson. The controversy over the proposed interpretive centre at Mullach Mór is referenced in this file. (See P120/3/2/5/2 for more about the campaign to oppose the centre).
