Bere Island Projects Group

With funding from the Heritage Keepers programme, the group were able to bring leading oral historian Dr Angela Maye-Banbury to Bere Island to facilitate a weekend of workshops in the recording of oral histories.

The community of Bere Island has been shaped by the natural heritage of the island, the productivity of the land and the sea, along with stories of previous generations and the island diaspora scattered throughout the world. Many of these histories are now available on the iCAN ( Irish Community Archive Network) https://bereisland.heritagecork.org/
