As part of a national public libraries initiative, in connection with The Gathering Ireland 2013, Dublin City Public Libraries have developed a series of postcards depicting scenes from the Dublin of the last fifty years with the scenes captured from the same perspective today.
Right: Sample postcard
All of the photographs used are taken from the Dublin City Council Photographic Collection.
These e-postcards are the result of this process. The postcards show familiar Dublin scenes from within our collective living memory with a present day update. It is hoped that these images will resonate with people and trigger memories and conversations among the Diaspora prompting them to return to experience the new re-vitalised Dublin of the twenty-first century.
Please consider sending these e-postcards to Dubliners living abroad, inviting them to return to Dublin in 2013 to be part of The Gathering.
