The Tipperary Collection comprises 45 hour long recordings on CDs,
together with an illustrated catalogue which provides a brief synopsis
of each recording. People who hail from North and South Tipperary were
interviewed by Maurice O`Keeffe, and the wide range of topics covered
were recollections of childhood, family history, placenames, national
history, crafts, music, entertainment, lakeside living, religion,
customs and beliefs.
The launch was a wonderful event, attended by academics, historians and
people with a deep interest in Irish life and our history, and the
guests of honour were the participants in the recordings, who travelled
from far and wide to be present on this special occasion. MC for the occasion was George Cunningham. Professor Donnchadh O Corrain UCC and a member of the Archives Commission of Ireland, and guestmaster Fr Nivard Kinsella also spoke at the launch.
The Tipperary Collection has been purchased by Tipperary Libraries, and
may be accessed there in the near future
