iCAN

The Irish Community Archive Network (iCAN) is the leading organisation championing and supporting digital community archives in Ireland.

With much of Ireland’s material and intangible cultural heritage in the care of its citizens and diaspora, iCAN is empowering local communities to document their own history, heritage and culture on digital platforms and make it accessible to people all over the world.

Working in partnership with the Heritage Council and local authorities, iCAN has supported the creation of 33 online archives to date in Clare, Cork, Galway, Mayo and Wicklow, with three more archives currently in development.
