Another site worth bookmarking is Poverty and Public Health in Belfast, available at www.belfastpovhist.com. It's a Queen's University Belfast project funded for three years by AHRC, which examines poverty in Belfast and the surrounding area from 1800-1973. It aims to provide resources online and to list others offline that are worth consulting for studies into urban poverty in the east of Ulster. Check out the Resources page in particular, where you will find several videos on workhouses and other useful aids.
You can also find the project on Twitter at @BelfastSickPoor
