About UCC Heritage Services
Heritage Services supports and engages with UCC’s ambitions for interdisciplinary approaches to research, teaching and knowledge exchange. To this end, the core mission of Heritage Services and the University Curator will be to care for and develop the UCC Curatorial Collections, and to share and communicate knowledge about them.
Heritage Services is responsible for the documentation, conservation, interpretation and accessibility of the UCC Curatorial Collections according to professional standards and procedures under the care of the University Curator for the benefit of its staff and students, the general public and researchers further afield. The University Curator also provides information relating to the heritage and history of UCC including its historic staff and alumni as well as its buildings.
The UCC Curatorial Collections include a rich variety of historic artefacts acquired since 1849, ranging from early teaching equipment to plaster casts, portraits and ogham stones to architectural models.
The current University Curator is Dr Margaret Lantry.
