The aim of the project is to examine both written and oral petitions made by the poor of Ulster to various charitable organisations and individuals during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It seeks not just to comprehend which groups of society felt the need to resort to this course of action, and what conditions and challenges led them to it. It also looks more deeply at the petitions themselves, in an attempt to draw out the voices of the poor and foreground their individual, lived experiences of poverty as they described it. The research will explore what made petitions successful through an analysis of the strategies, language and rhetorical devices used, and any recurring themes which arise.

该项目的目的是审查十九世纪末和二十世纪初阿尔斯特穷人向各种慈善组织和个人提出的书面和口头请愿。它不仅试图了解哪些社会群体认为有必要诉诸这一行动方针，以及是什么条件和挑战导致他们这样做的，它还更深入地研究了请愿书本身，试图引出穷人的声音，突出他们的个人，生活的贫困经验，因为他们描述它。研究将探讨是什么使请愿成功，通过分析的战略，使用的语言和修辞手段，以及出现的任何反复出现的主题。
