CULTURA* submitted a project video to the Research in Action event (9 to 20 July 2012, Dublin, Ireland). The video covers mostly the tools available as part of phase 1 of CULTURA and discussing some of the work in a related project, Petty Maps**. The video shows a small example of how using outputs from both projects we can see how murders recorded in the depositions in County Armagh were carried out on almost exclusively protestant owned land. *CULTURA is a 36 months EU project, started on 1st Febrary 2011, funded under Seventh Framework Programme. The consortium includes 7 partners from 5 countries. **Petty Maps is a geographic information system incorporating historic documents and maps.
