Share your memories and stories with us
Do you have memories, stories or recollections about past drought periods across Ireland? How did drought affect you, your business or your family? What actions did you take to reduce negative impacts and who helped you to recover? Would you like to share your story with our project ‘Irish Droughts: Environmental and Cultural Memories of a Neglected Hazard’ and help us build a publically accessible archive of these memories?
If so, simply send your memories to us in a letter or email. It does not matter if your memories relate to a recent drought or one from many years ago, we are interested in your experiences and will be delighted to receive your contribution. Please make sure to tell us where in the country you are talking about and roughly when the events you are remembering took place.
