 Emigrant Story Collecting Weekend

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin is looking for stories from people who have made their home in Ireland at our Storytelling Collection Weekend.

As part of a special Europe-wide project and National Heritage Week 2018, the interactive museum in Dublin’s Docklands is inviting the public to come along on the weekend of 18 and 19 August to share their stories of migration through objects.

People are encouraged to bring along one or more objects that are part of their own or their family’s migration story. They can be any sort of object: letters, postcards, photographs, tickets, diaries, artworks, items of clothing, recipes, books, mementos, footage, badges, or songs.

The museum is particularly interested in hearing from new Irish communities.
