Location: Sligo Library, Stephen Street, Sligo   F91 X264

A launch will take place in Sligo Library, on 13th February at 6:30pm. Over 400 photographic slides from the Sligo Field Club collection have been digitised through funding from The Heritage Council in 2024. Sligo Library will be hosting the image gallery on their website which you will be able to access (this is not yet live). The images are wide ranging of monuments across the county dating from the 1950’s to 1970’s.

Lecturer

Wendy Lyons, former chairperson of Sligo Field Club, will give a brief summary of the contents of this first tranch of our photographic records. Wendy singlehandedly organised the funding (from The Heritage Council and The Library) for this project. The County Librarian, Mr Donal Tinney will also give a short talk on the accessibility of the on-line collection. Our thanks to Martin A. Timoney for keeping the collection safe and in good condition, and to all who have been involved in bringing this project to fruition.
