Ulster History Circle

The Ulster History Circle is a heritage organisation that administers Blue Plaques for the area that encompasses the province of Ulster on the island of Ireland. It is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation, placing commemorative plaques in public places in honour of people and locations that have contributed to all genres of history within the boundary of the Irish province of Ulster, or contemporary country of Northern Ireland. Founded in the early 1980s, the group receives no government funding, unlike many similar organisations in the United Kingdom.

Some of the Blue Plaques Recipients in Ulster

Since the first plaque was formally unveiled over 150 individuals have been honoured, including:[1]

gollark: The announcement I read just said "not this academic year".
gollark: It's been kind of unclear.
gollark: If they use my mock exam grades I'll probably be fine, but I have no idea how it's actually meant to work consistently.
gollark: How do predicted grades actually work? Do they just hope schools won't manipulate them somehow?
gollark: Apparently, yes, after Friday.
