The National Photographic Archive, Dublin hosted an exhibition of twenty images from the National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin for Culture Night in September this year and the exhibition attracted a great deal of interest.
The exhibition is now available (free of charge apart from transport costs) to libraries and other institutes or bodies who may wish to host it.
This photographic exhibition celebrates the contribution of four Swedish scholars and writers to Irish culture in the first half of the twentieth century. Each of them played a significant role in advancing the study of Irish folklore and ethnology and in cultivating Swedish-Irish relations. All four men and women were also capable photographers, and many of the photographs and correspondence with Irish colleagues are now preserved in the National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin.
The black and white images are mounted and framed and an accompanying catalogue was printed in Irish, English and Swedish.
