Sharon Slater

Author and Award Winning Historian

Sharon has an outstanding passion for local history, combined with unbounded enthusiasm and tireless capacity for interacting with others and sharing her knowledge. Her website Limerick’s Life has become a real brand for Limerick, due to the huge amount of work she has put into identifying and bringing to light information about the city’s past. Sharon has an excellent insight into the opportunities opened by digital / social media and she is then perfect example of a modern age scholar. I met Sharon in 2011 while working on the Connected Limerick project and ever since, our collaboration has gone from strength to strength.Sharon has generously contributed her time and expertise to our research and community projects by giving invited talks, guiding historical tours, participating in recording sessions and providing us with excellent information and images from Limerick’s past
