The Photo Album of the Irish: Jamaica Edition
Your Photos, Your Memories, Our History
Family photo albums give a fascinating insight into our private and public histories, revealing details about how people lived and worked that official histories can often overlook. The Photo Album of the Irish is a digital archive project that celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary histories of people with Irish heritage.
In 2025 the Photo Album team from the Photo Museum Ireland travelled to Kingston, Jamaica to carry out the digital archiving work. Our aim was to create a visual record of diverse emigrant stories and represent the enduring links between Ireland and Caribbean. We wanted to actively embrace diverse traditions, affiliations and ethnicities, challenging stereotypical notions of Irish identity.
