Part of the Schools Collection, the new material comprises stories collected from 170 Co Clare schools under a project run across the 26 counties of the Irish Free State in 1937–39. The pupils collected stories – topics included folk legends, weather lore, local history, proverbs, pastimes, trades and crafts – from their local communities, and recorded the names of their informants, often grandparents or older members of their family or neighbours.
See the Schools Collection for County Clare.
