Folklore Collection

Based at University College Dublin, the National Folklore Collection is home to one of the largest collections of Irish life, folk history and culture in the world.

To commemorate the founding of the Irish Folklore Commission 75 years ago, we were asked to produce a special book to showcase some of the unique illustrations, paintings, photographs, manuscripts, and books housed within their archive. All of these artefacts offer a compelling insight to Irish culture during the first half of the twentieth century and this beautiful book is a fascinating place to go to learn more about our past.
