The Gathering: Dublin Then & Now
Published on 24th October 2012
As part of a national public libraries initiative, in connection with The Gathering Ireland 2013, Dublin City Libraries developed a series of images depicting scenes from the Dublin of the last fifty years with the scenes captured from the same perspective today.
All of the photographs used are taken from the Dublin City Council Photographic Collection.
These images 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.
