The Waterways Ireland Oral History Project
The Waterways Ireland Oral History Project is an initiative designed to create and preserve the oral histories of the inland waterways. Begun as a pilot project in late 2015 it has been developed with the aim of building a unique archive collection of the personal stories, memories and experiences associated with the waterways.

Get Involved!
Waterways Ireland is actively collecting these oral histories as well as encouraging individual volunteers and groups to deposit relevant oral histories in the Waterways Ireland archive. It is the intention that oral histories will be curated and archived in full before being made publicly available.
To find out more about making a deposit read our Oral History Project Guidelines here.
