Photo Album of the Irish: Canada – Family Ties and Hidden Histories

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

Family Ties and Hidden Histories. We will be joined by two notable speakers on the night, Dr Orla Fitzpatrick and Dr Deirdre Mulrooney.

The &quot;Photo Album of the Irish: Canada&quot; exhibition at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary histories of Canadians with Irish heritage across generations, reflected in their family photo albums. Beginning in February 2019, the Photo Museum Ireland team worked with families across Canada to record, preserve and share diverse social histories, revealing details that official histories can often overlook. It includes images from the 1860s right up to the present, giving an authentic view of diverse Irish emigrant experiences across Canada. Collectively, the photographs reveal the stories people chose to remember and celebrate in their own lives.We will be joined by two notable speakers on the night, Dr Orla Fitzpatrick and Dr Deirdre Mulrooney. Dr Fitzpatrick will discuss the role photo albums play in providing fascinating insights into our private and public histories – revealing details about how people lived and worked that official histories often overlook while Dr Mulrooney will give an insight into her fascinating family history as depicted in the Photo Album of Irish: Canada exhibition.Our lecture is presented in partnership with Photo Museum Ireland. Booking is essential as places are limited. Attendees will also be entered into a draw to win a signed copy of the ‘Photo Album of the Irish: Canada Edition’ publication. The “Photo Album of the Irish: Canada” exhibition is funded by the Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme.
