The UCC History Society, previously known as the UCC Historical Society and commonly referred to as 'HistSoc', is the oldest Historical society in University College Cork, Ireland. The society is dedicated to fostering a community for UCC students who are passionate about History.
The society aims to promote an appreciation for the past, encourage intellectual curiosity, and facilitate engaging discussions and events centred around historical themes. [1] The main events held by the society are Model United Nations, Lectures, Debating, and Pub quizzes.[2]
History
There is evidence of the society's existence as far back as October of 1974, under the title of UCC Historical Society.[3] The society ceased operations for unknown reasons in 2020. Operations were re-invigorated in 2022 by Richard Keyes-McDonnell. The first even of the resurgent society occurred on 20 January 2023.[4] This was a talk delivered by Dr Olesia Zhythova entitled 'Ukraine and Ireland: Similar Pages of History'.
Following the 2023 Extraordinary general meeting, the Constitution of the society was amended and the name was changed to UCC History Society. This alteration was introduced by Chairperson at the time, James Power.
The UCC Student History Journal
Since 2024, the society ventured into curating a Student publication aimed at housing historical topics of interest. The UCC Student History Journal had its inaugural launch on the 11th of April, 2024.[5] The first edition of the publication contained contributors from University College Cork and University of Galway. At the launch of the first volume of the journal, Irish Historian Dr Hiram Morgan gave a speech introducing the topics, alongside Chairperson elect of the society, Rebecca Bourke.
The journal was originated by a sub-committee of the society and was headed by co-editor-in-chiefs Daniel A. O'Connell and Emma Ní Muirthile.[4]
