David's trip to the Museum with me dragging along... but worth the visit

A few days ago while i was visiting the Irish Studies Library, myself and David in the afternoon gave a visit to the Armagh Museum, which although i had little hope of finding research material, did by sheer luck to a point and the kindness of the museum curator Greer Ramsey, managed to read through an entire thesis / dissertation by a local degree student from the 1990's who wrote a superb piece entitled ' The Poor Law and the workhouse in Armagh'. Quite an insight, and what made it more special is that it was an entirely unexpected find.
