The Photo Album of the Irish digital archive project celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary histories of people with Irish heritage around the world. The Photo Album of the Irish: Canada edition reflects the deep, enduring connections between Ireland and Canada. This publication includes images from the 1860s right up to the present, giving an authentic view of diverse Irish emigrant experiences across Canada. Collectively, the photographs reveal the stories people chose to remember and celebrate in their own lives.
