Limerick History Gazette Archive

With its distinct advantage of offering unlimited free access to the archive of 20,000+ unpublished images Limerick History Gazette Archive aims to attract not only local citizens but also the ever increasing Limerick Diaspora far and wide around the globe.​

This freely available permanent exhibition of images in an highly accessible and easily navigated online gallery, will permanently ensure that Limerick's familes and friends will have unrivaled online access to previously unseen by the general public photographs that would otherwise have vanished into oblivion but are now preserved for generations to come.

We are currently constructing the archive and are adding over 100+ new images every week. As the collection builds we will continue to add images until we reach our target of 20,000.

We are also digging through local, national and international newspaper archives for our 'History In The Headlines' postings. We select many types of news stories, some tragic, some funny, but all true. We think these may have been the more controversial news stories of the day. Stories mostly involving the ordinary people of Limerick.

3.25 Million People all over the world have associations and are friends of Limerick and in a 2015 survey conducted by the Global Limerick Network (GLN) they expressed a desire to have a greater source of online communication with the region and its people and perceived the current lack of such a service as being a major problem.

Limerick History Gazette Archive offers a solution to this problem. It is primarily owned and run as a non-profit project by Limerick Historian and Digital Solopreneur Gerard J. Hannan.

This is an archive of unpublished 20th century Limerick images crowd-sourced and supplied by members of the Facebook portal 'Limerick History Gazette' which remains in existence for the forseeable future in order to continue to source new images and to build the Limerick History History Gazette Archive.​​​​​

The copyright for all the images remains with the original donor and Limerick History Gazette Archive claims no ownership whatsoever.
