Social media historians are engaging new audiences with the past, with #history having over seven million posts on TikTok alone.
Jane Casey from Co Wicklow is one of the top Irish historical content creators tapping into her own curiosity for the past and sharing it with her growing audience.
Jane began posting quirky videos about Irish history to Instagram and TikTok a little over a year ago and many of her posts have since gone viral.
"I'm not an academic historian by any stretch, I’m just curious about everything," she said. "We often give out about Ireland, but it’s actually incredible. No matter where you go, there’s something interesting if you keep your eyes open."
Jane has always had a passion for history and says it is "so gratifying" when people respond positively to her content because she loves "to bring some positivity to people’s feeds."
