There are few families in County Donegal that have not been affected by emigration or participated in seasonal migration.  In the twentieth century, Scotland was a familiar destination for people leaving County Donegal in search of work.  The County Donegal Heritage Office & Culture Division, Donegal County Council and the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies is preparing an exhibition on the work experiences of Donegal people who worked in a variety of occupations in Scotland between 1940 and 1990.  The Creative Ireland programme will support selected background research for the exhibition, aspects of its creative design and elements of its physical and digital infrastructure. The exhibition will blend some of the best-known stories of labour with personal experiences and culminate in a major exhibition in the Donegal County Museum and Regional Cultural Centre in 2025.
