Council seek help for exhibition examining Donegal diaspora in Glasgow
Entitled Working Over By, the exhibition is being developed by the culture division of Donegal County Council in partnership with the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies.
It will examine the relationship between Donegal and Glasgow and gather and share personal stories of Donegal men and women who made a life, temporarily or permanently, while working 'across the water' in Scotland.
The exhibition will launch in the Donegal County Museum in Letterkenny this summer with a show in Glasgow also.
Joseph Gallagher, County Donegal Heritage Officer, is appealing for anyone who can help to record a short video of either themselves or their family member who may have worked in Scotland and submit it for use.

Some of the videos submitted will be edited into a film that will be shown as part of the exhibition and offers a chance to contribute to a lasting record of the working lives that shaped families and communities on both sides of the Irish Sea.
Joseph Gallagher said: 'If you have a story to tell, you're invited to record a short video - no longer than five minutes - using your smartphone.
'It might be your own memory or that of a parent, grandparent or relative. The project team is especially interested in what the work was like, what the working conditions were, and how it felt to be part of that community of Donegal people who worked in Scotland.
'Many people from Donegal found employment in Scotland between 1940 and 1990 including on farms, buses, roads, building sites, tunnels, bridges, dams, hydro-electric schemes, shipbuilding, domestic service, hotels, shops, biscuit or chocolate factories, health service, religious life and teaching.
'Some went for seasonal work and came home regularly; others stayed and built new lives there, often maintaining strong ties with home. Through the Working Over By exhibition, there's an opportunity to record and share those memories for future generations.'
