Cholera & Civic Belfast is a public history resource exploring the impact of cholera epidemics on nineteenth-century Belfast and the development of public health responses within the town. It examines how repeated outbreaks of Asiatic cholera between 1832 and 1866 shaped medical practice, urban governance, and sanitary reform in Ireland's only major industrialised town.

The resource draws on a wide range of primary sources, including municipal minutes, medical reports, Poor Law records, newspapers, and government publications. It situates Belfast within wider Irish, British, and European responses to epidemic disease, offering a detailed case study of how epidemic crises could accelerate long-term institutional and infrastructural change.

This website is designed for researchers, students, local historians, and anyone interested in the history of public health, urban development, and epidemic disease in nineteenth-century Ireland and Britain.
