June 15th marks two very important moments in Joyce’s life. In 1904 he messaged Nora to ask why she hadn’t shown for their date the previous day. Then in 1914, Joyce’s first novel, ‘Dubliners’, was finally issued by Grant Richards Ltd. In London. #jamesjoyce #ulysses

Collect your BLOOMSDAY pilgrim passport from the James Joyce Centre or National Library this weekend and make your way around Joyce’s Dublin to collect the stamps! @nationallibraryofireland @jamesjoycecentre #jamesjoyce #bloomsday

This Bloomsday, we've published a short blog exploring Joyce’s relationship with photography—and how our photographs form part of the visual record of Joyce’s early life in Dublin. legacy.lafayette.ie/blog/detail/... #Bloomsday #JamesJoyce #LafayettePhotography #Ulysses

Our volunteers have been getting into the Bloomsday spirit! Are you dressing up this year? Thanks to Patricia for the spirit and Frank for the evidence :D #jamesjoyce #bloomsday

June 14th should have been the day Joyce and Nora had their first date. They had arranged to on Merrion Square. However Nora never showed up! On June 15th, Nora agreed to meet instead on June 16th. Photo credit to the oscarwildehouse.com #jamesjoyce #norabarnacle #dublin

June 10th 1904 is remembered as the day James Joyce first met Nora Barnacle. The encounter happened on Nassau street in Dublin. Joyce was captivated and Nora thought he might be a Swedish sailor. They agreed to meet on June 14th at the home of Sir William Wilde on Merrion Square.

We will be launching SandycoveAtlas.com . Did James Joyce borrow this Atlas and use it as a ‘mother of memory’ in writing Ulysses? Why not have an advance look now?

Join us at the GPO Museum for 2025’s Bloomsday Festival. On Saturday, 14th June we will be holding a number of talks on Dublin in the time of James Joyce, exploring elements of the city that would have inspired and, at times, maddened the writer, particularly in the early 20th century.

People actually think this dodgy, cartoonish photo of James Joyce visiting the Joyce Tower and Museum over the weekend, could be fake! What’s the world coming to?

Also in Today in(en) Joyce, a true powerhouse of Irish politics passed away. Daniel O’Connell was born in 1775 and fought for Catholic emancipation all his life. His statue on O’Connell street is famously referred to in Episode 6 of Ulysses, “hugecloaked Liberator's form”.

A big happy birthday to Mary Jane Joyce, James Joyce’s mother who was born on May 15th, 1859. Mary (or May as she was known) famously kept her house in order in the family’s rougher years before passing away in 1903 at the young age of 44 when James was only 21.

The superior, the very reverend John Conmee S.J. Passed away on this day, 1910 at St. Vincent’s Hospital. He is responsible for Joyce’s continued education after the Joyce family fell into poverty and appeared in both Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses under his own name.

WTF??? #jamesjoyce

From our renowned former Curator, Robert Nicholson

Stumbled on birth place of James Joyce while out walking. On Brighton Square. Which is a triangle. At least the current hedge at Joyce house is square. A few doors down is a circular hedge! #JamesJoyce
