Welcome to Oral History Network of Ireland

From the beginning, it was agreed that the Oral History Network of Ireland would work to bring together individuals, local history groups and academics, collecting and using oral history, so that each could learn from the other. An all-Ireland approach was also agreed to be essential and connections were established with oral history groups in Northern Ireland.

Among the founding members were representatives of Cuimhneamh an Chláir, the Clare Oral History and Folklore Group, the GAA Oral History Project, the Cork Northside Folklore Project, The Peace Process: Layers of Meaning Project, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, the University of Limerick and the Centre for Contemporary Irish History at Trinity College, Dublin.
