Small Lives: At Home in Cork in 1920

In this online exhibition we discover Cork in 1920 through the lives lived inside and outside the North and South Presentation Convents.

Ordinary lives set against the tumultuous backdrop of the revolutionary war in this city. These lives are revealed through the rich archival materials we hold in the Nano Nagle Place archive with additional material from public and private collections.
