Snapshots of Fingal’s Past
The project is a County Winner in the Heritage Week Awards 2020 and a booklet by contributors will be available early in 2021.
The Snapshots of Fingal’s Past was originally to be a seminar in the spring of 2020. Instead a global pandemic overtook us. Fingal’s Heritage Network which represents the heritage and historical societies across the county canvassed their members for photographs of people, places, events and traditions that captured Fingal’s past and the stories behind the images.
