Magic, betrayal, romance and epic battles are hallmarks of this story. Heroes and heroines are forged through battles. Will other kingdoms give aid to the rebellion or just watch? Will Rolf betray his morals in order to achieve victory? Will his people face annihilation? Will he start a movement unrivaled in his era or will it fade into the burned pages of history?

The discerning reader will know how to find the hidden metaphors for the contradictions of modern life in this continuing narrative of Jonathan Martin's philosophy on life and on the
When it comes to local history there is much to explore. There are family, friends, and neighbors hidden in our past. There are mysteries to be solved and stories lost in the passages of time are waiting to be retold. If we are to understand our ancestors, we must, first of all, understand where and how they lived because without this information we are getting an incomplete picture. Like politics, all history is local because it ultimately comes back to an individual. The impact of political choices made at a national or international level is felt in communities, neighborhoods and the lives of individual families. Learning about history in school we are told about the big dramatic events that affect our nation or the world on a large scale. Occurrences such as industrialization, world wars, and economic depressions are examples of such things. This information is important but is only an overview. This is where local history finds its greatest purpose. It teaches us how our ancestors were affected by such events and choices and how these effects influence our lives. Limerick too has its stereotypical citizens. Historians are now realizing that the places in which we live plays a significant role in who we are and how we perceive the world and, in fact, stereotypes actually reflect something much deeper and shapes us in dramatic ways. In these pages, we zoom in closer to the day-to-day events that affected the people of Limerick in the 20th century. We have uncovered through the local, national and international newspaper archives many of the most controversial but now long forgotten stories and events that shape the people of our city. This is our hidden history and it best not forgotten and to give us a richer insight we must also take a closer look at Limerick through the images of the period. What unfolds as you read through these pages is the story of Limerick in the 20th Century, the story of us as Limerick people and how we got where we are today. After all, we are who we were.

The Limerick History Gazette Project started in September 2015 and is a simple idea. To build a free online archive of 20,000 privately owned images of Limerick, Ireland in the 20th Century. Photography began in 1826 and the astonishing technology since then means there are far more pictures being taken every second of every day. Limerick is no exception to this phenomenon. There are hundreds of thousands of images taken by amateur photographers laying idle and gathering dust throughout the city and it is our mission to seek out these images and put them on public display in a permanent online archive available to present and future generations of Limerick people and their descendants long into the future. Using modern social media as a crowdsourcing tool Limerick History Gazette was launched and in a matter of months thousands of Limerick people all over the world joined the project and started to donate images from their own private collections. We reached out to the people of Limerick and they responded in a most amazing way and within months we had gathered in excess of 20,000 archivable images and still growing. It is an exhaustive but worthy process selecting images for our archive as we go through thousands of images to unearth the diamonds but by monitoring and gaging the reaction of our members to each image it has simplified the task and each archived image is therefore selected by our members for inclusion in our archive. However, there is no formula that makes one picture more historically important than another, some images appear because they give us a deeper understanding of how ordinary life was for the people of Limerick in the 20th Century while others reflect the sense of community that existed on the streets of the city north, south, east and west. Many images are also archived because they directly showed the way we lived, celebrated, loved and shared our greatest moments and our darkest days. In the process of building this archive, it becomes crystal clear that the photographer had to be present to bear witness to the unfolding events in the hope that history as it happened and the documenting of it with the tangible evidence of a photograph can create an atmosphere where change is possible. Modern history is filled with famous photographs, images that speak to us in many ways. They show us the very best that humanity is capable of as well as the very worst, and everything in between, and the same can be said of the not so famous private home collections of the ordinary people of the world. With camera in hand, they too can capture moments in history that defined their families, their neighborhoods, their city, and their world. Whether we know the stories behind these individual images or not they do tell us a different story because they define us and show us from where we came and where we should be going.
