Join us for the next Design Mingle: Creative Connections, exploring the stories and creative possibilities hidden within Ireland’s digital heritage.
This event will take a closer look at Imirce, a digital archive bringing thousands of letters and life stories from Irish emigrants in North America into the digital age.
With more than 8,500 letters and 280 life stories already available, Imirce offers a fascinating window into Irish migration, identity, family and life abroad, while opening up new possibilities for storytelling, research and creative work.
Join Prof. Daniel Carey and Project Digital Archivist Kyle Kusch from the University of Galway as they share the story behind Imirce and explore how historical archives can inspire new creative ideas and reach new audiences.
Come along for a morning of conversation, connection and inspiration at the intersection of heritage, technology and creativity.
This project is funded by Galway City Council through its Creative Communities Fund, an initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme.
