25 Years of The Cork Folklore Project 

Friday 15 October, 12noon-1pm 

Join the Cork Folklore Project for this online event as it celebrates 25 years of collecting, archiving, and sharing the memories, stories, tradition, and folklore of Cork.  The Cork Folklore Project has evolved considerably since our foundation in 1996 but has remained true to the instinct value of testimony, folklore and the everyday experience of the people of Cork.  

We reel back the years to illuminate the contribution of the Cork Folklore Project to the social, cultural and intellectual wellbeing of Cork over the last quarter of a century.  In this time, we have recorded almost 800 interviews and produced multuple publications, outreach programmes and community initiatives.
