Prof. Gillespie’s 1998 book co-authored with Myrtle Hill,  Doing Irish Local History: pursuit and practice , opened up the field of local history to academic researchers and had an enduring legacy in educating generations of students in the field, and in encouraging academic rigour in the area of study.
