I was part of a team to create a digital map of place names with Gaelic origin and locations with historic Gaelic connection in Glasgow. This involved conducting independent research to locate relevant historic locations and creating descriptions to ensure the information was accessible to the public. To do this I used grid references provided to me to pinpoint researched place names and inputted and formatted the information on the map. I gained an understanding of the breadth and depth of Gaelic within Glasgow, something I had not considered before. I also had experience using grid references across many different historical maps to locate areas within Google Maps which I thoroughly enjoyed. As the map grew on the website, it was a clear sign of our progress and I am thrilled to have a lasting impact within an interesting and unique project.

I selected relevant material from archives and arranged them in a narrative to be used by schools. During this time I was trained in navigating content management software and social media in an academic context. Additionally, I worked as part of an academic team to create accessible resources. As I created blog posts for the project’s website, detailing the sources I had found, I am hopeful this will have a positive impact on students who are studying History in the future.
