The Decade of Centenaries Programme was initiated in 2012 and complements the on-going programme of annual State commemorations. The centenaries programme is broad and inclusive, highlighting the economic and social conditions of the period, the shifts in cultural norms and the experience of the Irish abroad.

2012 – 2023 Programme
The aim of the State centenary commemoration programme for the years from 2021 – 2023 is to ensure that this complex period in our history, including the Struggle for Independence, the Civil War, the Foundation of the State and Partition, is remembered appropriately, proportionately, respectfully and with sensitivity. A specific key objective of the initiative is to promote a deeper understanding of the significant events that took place during this period and recognise that the shared historical experience of those years gave rise to very different narratives and memories. Here are some of the key highlights for 2021 https://www.decadeofcentenaries.com/wp-content/uploads/publications/DOC2012-23/
County Monaghan Programme
Since 2013, Monaghan County Council through the Library and Museum services have been delivering a diverse programming of engagement, from our One Book One County annual project where we are reading a book relating to that particular period in Irish history, to researching and discovering the poets and writers of this revolutionary period, Autumn lecture series, or bringing to life through digital animation key events of Monaghan history of 100 years ago, to the many research projects working with academics, local historians and creative practitioners leading to the award winning exhibitions in our County Museum. We work with many local, regional and national partners and for 2021-2023 we will be engaging on a key multi-disciplinary collaborative project including cross border partners in bringing to life our project ‘Bordering Realities’ through exhibitions and events in 2023 at new home of The Peace Campus in Monaghan town for the County Museum and Monaghan branch library.
