Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Libraries present an exhibition of digitised glass plate slides from the dlr Local Studies' Charles Hamilton Oswald Collection. Oswald, from Dún Laoghaire, had a special interest in yachting, and either acquired or inherited the collection which mainly depicts life in and around Dún Laoghaire Harbour. A digitised version of this unique collection will be available to view for the first time, reflecting an important period in the town's history.
The Local Studies team will also present a talk on the history of glass plate photography, the importance of preservation and the digitisation process.
