Digital Heritage Projects

The current circumstances have provided an opportunity to move a number of our heritage projects online. Below are pieces of oral history captured on video, drone films, an online exhibition and colouring book pages to download.

Snapshots of Fingal’s Past

Snapshots of Fingal’s Past presents photographs that capture Fingal’s past and the stories that lie behind them. This heritage project takes the form of an online exhibition featuring the stories of people, places, sports and traditions submitted by the people of Fingal. Members of the Fingal Heritage Network also present stories from their areas.
