Welcome to the Ballyfermot Heritage Site |
|
One of the purposes of this site is to create an accessible database of the collections of Ballyfermot Heritage materials, held at Dublin City Council's Ballyfermot Public Library .
Given that part of the collection consists of photographs, both Ballyfermot Library and Ballyfermot Heritage Group encourage the taking of photographs of ordinary everyday life, preferably with a landmark or distinguishing feature in the photo, at least in the background.
This is because the collection has had numerous requests for photographs of the area from the past. Unfortunately these are rare as people did not, and generally do not, take pictures of mundane landscape, the everyday ordinary environment whether that be a roadway, house renovation / extension, relandscaping front garden, shop fronts, green areas before redevelopment

It is our aim to build a very comprehensive catalogue of historic Ballyfermot materials. You can help us in several ways: - Volunteer to help us with the catalogue
- Help us identify sources. There are many photographs in our collection where we do not have adequate information about the subject of the photo. If you recognize a photo, people in the photo or if you were there when it was taken, we would like you to contact us and share your knowledge of Ballyfermot History.
