Knock Museum Secures Funding From Heritage Council To Digitise Historic Annuals

We are delighted to announce that Knock Museum has been successful in securing a grant of €7,181 from the Heritage Council in the Community Heritage Grant Scheme 2023.  This funding will go towards the digitisation of the Knock Shrine Annual Collection, published yearly by the Knock Shrine Society from 1938 – 2012.

 

 

 

 

These Annuals were edited and compiled by Judy Coyne and in the latter years, Tom Neary, and are a fascinating historical record of yearly events at the Shrine over a 74 year period.  On completion of this project, digital versions will be freely accessible on the Knock Shrine website and in Knock Museum.Knock Museum is fully accredited in the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland since 2009 and is open daily from 10-6pm. Admission is free.
