The Photo album of the Irish is a digital archive project celebrating the shared history of the Irish people as reflected in their family photographs. This U.S. edition is the first printed publication featuring albums from the wider project archive. This collection explores treasured family photo albums which bring to life individual stories that would otherwise be lost to history.
The first stage of the project began with a public call inviting members of the public to contribute to the archive. A series of regional workshops were organised as part of the Bealtaine Festival programme of events in 2013. People were invited to bring a selection of their family photographs to one of the regional archive scanning sessions organised in collaboration with our touring partners in the Hunt Museum, Limerick, Monaghan County Heritage Services, Monaghan.
