The History of Clerys

In this episode of Talking History, we explore the Clerys archive and find out how the iconic building in Dublin has been restored. Joining host Dr Patrick Geoghegan is public historian Caitlin White of Trinity College Dublin as well as George O'Malley who specialises in the conservation and restoration of lime plaster and stucco, and led the plasterwork restoration at Clerys. And later in the show, we're looking at the legends surrounding Alexander The Great and hearing how his story inspired many for centuries, as part of a new exhibition at the British Library in London.
