Local History Project

Last year transition year students undertook a local history project in conjunction with Creative Ireland and the Johnston Cavan Library to record old photos, memories, recordings and local folklore to preserve local history. The findings of the project were then uploaded and converted into a Sway website that can be updated in the future forming an online book on history of the local area. The website was officially launched by Cathaoirleach Shane P. O’Reilly on Tuesday 5th of November 2019 in Cavan Library and was attended by a number of students, their teacher Miss Brady as well as Seán Ó Cualáin and Seosamh Ó Suilleabháin who have pioneered this work in their local area in Connemara, Co. Galway. Well done to all those involved. For more information on the final website click the photo below.
