The conference is a showcase event of the ‘Accounts of the Conflict’ project at INCORE based in the University of Ulster, which is building a digital archive of stories related to the conflict in Northern Ireland. The conference aims to attract both local and international academics, archivists, story gatherers, practitioners and many other interested parties, who have an interest in how storytelling and archiving can contribute to peacebuilding and social change in a range of diverse contexts.
