A resource has been launched dedicated to the works of renowned historian Dr Éamon Phoenix.
The key aim of the website is to promote mutual understanding and reconciliation in Ireland through the study of history.
The project was led by Intercomm. The community Relations Council supports Intercomm through its Core Funding Scheme. And the group is also a beneficiary of the North Belfast Strategic Good Relations Programme.

In March 2022, the Community Relations Council awarded Dr Phoenix its Good Relations award for being an “inspirational local peacemaker.” The annual Award (run since 2006) highlights exceptional achievement in promoting community relations, intercultural work and peace-building in Northern Ireland.
Éamon, who passed away on13 November 2022, has now had his works collected for this website resource intended to educate and inspire the next generation of peacebuilders.
