Abstract | Our Story: A History of the Irish in Derby is an oral history project that collects and shares the personal memories and experiences of the Irish diaspora who emigrated to Derby in the 1950s and 60s primarily. Emigration has long been a part of Irish history and identity, and this project acts as a recognition of the social, cultural and economic contributions the Irish have made to the Derby city and region. It also offers a reminder of the diverse and multicultural make up of modern British society, while celebrating the strong links that exist between Ireland and Britain. |
