A unique exhibition featuring many old photographs is taking place at Ballybofey’s Butt Hall.
The exhibition celebrates 200 years of Donegal’s unique history and the relevance of local history for people living today and will run until mid June.
The exhibition showcases Donegal County Archives’ many and varied archival collections. Nine panels are on display which are based around the following themes- Homesteads; Donegal Wains; Fun and Games; Days of Toil; Faith and Worship; Landlords and Tenants; Conflict; Local Democracy; Journeys in Time.
The panels contain a brief history of the themes and are accompanied by images scanned from the County Archives’ many collections. Images include photographs, posters, leaflets, extracts from letters, registers, minute books and other items.
Included in the exhibition are some of the photographs kindly loaned to the County Archives for the purpose of the exhibition.
