Troubled Images

All the major events from the Northern Ireland troubles period are explored in Troubled Images, a chronological interactive history textbook for use in secondary schools, written by Gordon Gillespie. Key themes and main figures involved are addressed in a succinct yet comprehensive manner. 


Based on the Linen Hall Library’s Troubled Images project, this interactive resource has been specially designed for the revised curriculum at Key Stage 3 but will also serve as a general young person’s introduction to this vital period in the collective history of Northern Ireland. 


The Troubled Images text is highly illustrated with colourful and thought-provoking images from the Linen Hall Library’s Political Collection, which complement the information provided and act as stimuli. Questions and activities surrounding the text and images are included throughout to aid young people’s comprehension and to stimulate enquiry.


The resource has been developed by the Nerve Centre.
