This website has been awarded Digital Heritage award and has also been recommended at the Digital MegaMeet Conference. Amazing work carried out by Nuala Dalton and her class. A TRUE community connection has evolved from their community nights where they gathered many old photos and artifacts from the past. From there, they cleverly recorded their primary sources into a collection on this website. The website truly captures the cohesion of support and positive morale generated at their community night which will live on forever.
How it maps to the curriculum
