The dataset comprises a tabular listing of student and staff of University College Dublin who participated in, and died in, World War I. The data was derived by Conor Mulvagh fom two sources: The National University of Ireland War List, "Roll of Honour," and the Commonwealth War Graves Commissions database of war dead.

Staff, students, and graduates of University College Dublin from the National University of Ireland War List, Roll of Honour, 1919. This table presents the names and details of the 488 members of the UCD community (including graduates of the Royal University of Ireland) who served in the British and Imperial Forces during the First World War. It is worth noting that two thirds of the individuals listed were serving in medical rather than combat appointments. Data presented includes the name, rank, and unit of the individuals lists along with details of the award of degree, years of study, or staff appointment of the individual in question. In addition, details of military honours and distinctions, promotions, and the status of the individual (killed, wounded, missing) are presented. The data is correct to 1919 and, as noted in the original Roll of Honour, may be incomplete in some instances including ‘owing to the difficulty in obtaining the names of Past Students’.

University College Dublin War Dead, 1914-18. This table cross-references data from the 1919 National University of Ireland War List with the details available on the Commonwealth War Graves Commissions database of war dead. In total, it lists 43 individuals from the University College Dublin community who died while serving as members of the British and Imperial Forces during the First World War. The location of either the grave or the memorial upon which each individual is commemorated is listed along with any data contained on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database pertaining to that individual including the date of death and, in certain cases only, their age, next of kin, and the address(es) of next of kin where known.

The year 1916, and the events that occurred during it, can mean multiple things to different people. By asking 'what does 1916 mean to you?', this collection explores the political, social, and cultural legacies of the year 1916 in the construction of identity and historical consciousness among people and communities across the island of Ireland, north and south. The collection consists of recorded interviews with various individuals (academics, community leaders, politicians, artists, writers and members of the public) giving their views on the significance of the events of 100 years ago, and also on the meaning of commemoration. '1916 and Me/2016 and Us' is a collaboration between University College Dublin School of History, Queen's University Belfast School of History and Anthropology, UCD Digital Library, and HistoryHub.ie, UCD's public history website. The project was funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs Reconciliation Fund, and involved the recording of a number of short interviews with people talking about what 1916 means to them during the centenary year of 2016.
