Working Over By : Donegal emigrant working lives in Scotland 1940-1990
Gallagher, Joseph(ed.)
Books
The Culture Division of Donegal County Council in partnership with the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies, presents this major exhibition exploring the working lives of Donegal men and women who emigrated to Scotland between 1940 and 1990. Few families in County Donegal remain untouched by stories of emigration or seasonal migration. Working Over By brings these experiences to life through personal narratives, photographs, oral history recordings, and artefacts collected from public repositories and community contributions. A complimentary, illustrated booklet offering historical context, profiles of emigrant occupations, and space to record your own family’s migrating story is available to all visitors to the exhibition.
