With Thanks to Larry Parks.. Clare Roots Society...
Clare Museum (in Ennis beside the Temple Gate hotel) has launched a new website today.
https://claremuseum.ie/
When it first went online back in 2002, it was the first museum in Ireland to have an online presence. With funding from the Heritage Council, museum staff have upgraded the digitised collection to give users access to the items they have in storage as well as those physically on display in the Museum building at any given time.
They aim to allow online access to their collection and tell the stories of the Clare people associated with the items. Lots of interesting material to be found on there !
