In April 2010, Robert Cresswell (88), the anthropologist who completed a major study in Kinvara, Co Galway in
the mid-1950s, donated his archive of black and white photographs (450+), Kodachrome slides (89), 16mm film
footage, documents and notes etc. to the nation.
Cresswell waived his copyright to this unique work in favour of all persons who wish to use any of the photos etc. for educational or heritage purposes. Where use is for commercial gain, copyright rests with Kinvara Community Council. Process of identifying individuals ongoing The process of identifying individuals and places in Cresswell's many photographs and colour slides has now begun and is enjoying a measure of success. More work needs to be done and this project will be ongoing for some time.
