Advent 2024: 19 December

Today we have photographs of Santa found in the Shannon Development Archive.

We recently launched a new public exhibition Developing Shannon – Exposing Narratives from Negatives at UL’s Glucksman Library. The exhibition is based on the Shannon Development Photographic Collection, which was donated to UL in 2014 by the Shannon Airport Group. The collection comprises approximately 250,000 items, including photographic material, press cuttings, reports, brochures, and other documentation spanning over five decades.

You can search the Shannon Development negatives on the ArchivUL catalogue or browse the UL Digital Library.
