On May 7, 1988, many people took pictures that they felt showed the spirit of Ireland in their daily lives. These photos were sent to judges, who chose the best ones for a book called “One Day for Life in Ireland – Photographs by the People of Ireland, Taken on a Single Day.”
The book has many great photos, some worth digitising. We previously posted photos of dogs and now share eleven photos of people at work.
Back in 1988, the book’s royalties supported the Irish Cancer Society, which marked its Silver Jubilee that year. Today, you can donate to the Irish Cancer Society online here.
