Westmeath County Council is behind the endeavour.
A midlands revolutionary will be the subject of a new documentary released today.
The film will focus on the capture of Longford flying-column leader Seán Mac Eoin in Mullingar in 1921, leading to a daring jail-break orchestrated by Michael Collins.
Westmeath County Council are launching the project to highlight the episode as a stand out event of the War of Independence in the midlands.
Dr. Paul Hughes - whose five-month term as the Council’s Decade of Centenaries Historian in Residence ended earlier this month - says Mac Eoin was a significant figure in the fight for Irish freedom:
