Abstract

Sligo Stoker Project has erected information signage for the public to view in some locations across Sligo town. These explain the 'Dracula' connection and the significance of the 1832 cholera epidemic, and publish in full Charlotte Thornley Stoker's 'Experiences of the Cholera in Ireland' (1873). The information on each sign is site specific, and collectively they create a trail for visitors to follow.

The locations are: St John's Cathedral, Sligo Abbey visitors centre, Sligo County Library, the Yeats Building and Sligo University Hospital. In 2019, the novelist Dacre Stoker, the great, great grandson of Charlotte Stoker and great grand nephew of Bram Stoker, launched the trail.

Thanks to Sligo County Council for helping to fund this project, and to the Special Collections Department of Trinity College Dublin for permission to reprint Charlotte Stoker's account. Thanks also to the Office of Public Works, the Yeats Society, St John's Cathedral, Sligo Library and Sligo University Hospital.
