The aim of the event was to connect scholars with practitioners and professionals in the GLAM (Gallery, Library, Archive, and Museum) sector who work with collections of religious objects. Following a day of discussions and presentations on campus, which included a presentation from Ken Bergin in UL Special Collections and Archives on the Bolton Collection, the group spend the second day on site in the Hunt Museum and at Ennis Franciscan Friary. This stakeholder and networking event will lead to collaborative publications and strengthened networks across practitioners and scholars in the field.
