The Binneas Heritage Project Progress Map

‘The Heritage Council’ have provided funding to digitise a large part of the Binneas Collection. The material includes sound recordings of music, song and story of South Kerry. The recorded material is being digitised, edited and enhanced by ‘Creation Studio’ Teeromoyle. The printed and photographic material will be scanned locally. This process will be ongoing throughout the length of the project, and the material will be added to the website on a regular basis.

The digital map link is located on the main navigation bar. Pins on the map above will link to the material relevant to that pin. As material has been identified for digitisation a red pin will be added to the map. When the material has been uploaded the pin will change to blue.

Some pins will link to a large volume of material and others to a single song or photograph.

All new material, historical information and suggestions for inclusion that will enhance the project are welcome.
