FRIDAY FEATURE: Today I wanted to highlight another one of the FREE 'Discover' areas of our website - the R.J. Hunter section which has been created in memory of a much loved and highly respected historian of Early Modern Ireland. Robert (affectionately known as Bob) Hunter specialised in the history of the early 1600s, the period of the Ulster Plantation, and was particularly interested in the contribution of the English to the shaping of the province during this era.
As his daughter Laura Hunter Houghton states "Robert John Hunter did not publish as much as he had hoped during his lifetime. His research extended far beyond his published output." For that reason the R.J. Hunter Project was established after his untimely death which published a number of his writings and listed his other published articles and essays here.
