The Story of Us: Census 1926, Boston Exhibition, presented by the National Archives of Ireland, has been bringing Ireland's past to life for visitors since May and as it enters its final days, we’ve been delighted to hear about the response it has received.
From families visiting the campus to school groups, the exhibition has attracted a steady stream of visitors, sparking curiosity and some unexpected personal connections along the way. Irish school groups have been particularly surprised to come across the exhibition during their visits, making its presence in Boston all the more meaningful.
One highlight was a special event hosted by Boston College with the Charitable Irish Society, Éire Society of Boston, and The Irish Ancestral Research Association (TIARA). Many guests were visiting for the first time to explore the stories behind the Census and discover how they could use it to uncover more about their own family histories.
For us, hearing stories like these is one of the most rewarding parts of working with our clients. It’s wonderful to see an exhibition not simply being visited, but prompting conversations, discoveries and connections across generations and across the Atlantic.
The Census 1926 Boston Exhibition runs until 4 September.
