We speak to historians Una Walsh and Kevin Murphy as well as PRONI’s Grace Gordon about Michael J. Murphy’s innovative thinking, the use of language, and how important Michael’s collection of folklore is for us today. Our podcasters discuss his legacy and the importance of PRONI’s work in archiving his work.
