About us
The aim of Killorglin Archive Society is collecting, collating and archiving old photographs, Audio and video recordings that capture the essence of life in Killorglin town and parish over the last century. This will greatly enhance our knowledge and understanding of the history and folklore of our place. At present over 15,000 photographs ve been archived with some going back over 100 years.
These photographs and documents are scanned and archived, with the originals returned to their owners. Undoubtedly there are many interesting photographs, documents and recordings in the possession of the people of Killorglin parish at home and abroad stored away in attics and drawers.The Killorglin Archive Society (K.A.S.) wish to preserve this information for the purpose of sharing it with present and future generations. If you would like to become part of this exciting project we would be delighted to hear from you. You can help by bringing your own photos (with accompanying information e.g. date, location, people/place pictured), maps and written documents to the K.A.S. office located in the Sean Scoil, Killorglin. These items will be digitised and returned to the owners
We are also seeking to engage with people who live or have spent time in our parish in the past to sit down with us and share their memories about days gone by. K.A.S. intends on interviewing local people whose first-hand accounts of special events and day-to-day life in early-mid 20th century Killorglin will serve as invaluable sources of information.
