We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Gordon Lucy.
It was an honour to work with such an exceptional historian, and we are proud to have been his publisher.
Our sincere condolences go to his family and friends.
The death of unionist historian Gordon Lucy has led to an outpouring of tributes.
The Fermanagh man passed away in the Royal Victoria Hospital following a short illness. He was 69.

In 1961, a small community was shattered by the brutal murder of 19-year-old Pearl Gamble. Patrick Greg tells this emotive story, which concludes with the execution of Robert McGladdery, the last man hanged in Northern Ireland.

A notebook carried through the trenches of the #GreatWar had a list of names. Determined to trace them, #MarkScott turned detective & unravelled a connection to the #UnknownWarrior, unearthing new documents telling of those not selected for burial in #WestminsterAbbey in 1920.
Join author Mark Scott and Ancre Somme Association on Thursday 11th June for a fascinating and moving presentation exploring the untold stories behind one of the most poignant symbols of the First World War — the Unknown Warrior.

This looks like a fascinating event on Alice Milligan.
For anyone interested in knowing about her remarkable life, Sheila Turner Johnston's biography 'Alice: A Life of Alice Milligan' is available here:

My Conversations with Alice
27th May – 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
£6.00 – £7.50
Alice Milligan (1866-1953) was the most significant writer-activist of the Irish Cultural Revival. A northern Protestant, born in Omagh, her contribution to Irish cultural life is enormous, but largely forgotten.
In this event, poet Maria McManus discusses her ongoing archival research around Alice Milligan, exploring Alice’s relationship with Ireland, and uses her life and work as inspiration for a series of poems, letters and conversations to explore her own contemporary Irish and Northern Irish culture and society.
