Research

The Tides & Tales Maritime Community Project currently has in excess of 500 free-to-access blogs or primary research pieces, on the local maritime heritage available. All of this is free and available to the public and we have plans for much more. Feel free to search the site, use the blog categorisations or contact the project if you require help.

In some cases this is a simple process of sharing details already to hand. We always endevour to respond. Others require further research, including linking with third parties to try and find satisfactory responses.

If you need further or more detailed research, including the references, either on an existing blog or any matter related to the maritime history of the Waterford area or beyond we would be happy to receive such requests.  However, in order to sustain the project we may need to charge a research fee. 

If you have a research question please contact our Coordinator through the contact page on our site.  The Coordinator will assess the query and let you know the query type and cost.  For example: 

€0 – Straight forward query with information readily to hand.

€20 – Basic Query – supplying information we have on file or relatively easy to access.

€50 – Intermediate Query – This could be defined as a question requiring further research and time. 

€90 – Advanced Query – This relates to queries that require reaching out to relevant third parties. 

All funds raised will go towards sustaining the Tides & Tales Maritime Community Project and making it possible to provide the blogs and this valuable resource material.
