Categories of Data in The Lankford Cape Clear Collection / Archive
As the Lankford Cape Clear Collection / Cartlann Chléire Archive is a voluntary on-going Dr Éamon Lankford initiative, it is at present unable to provide a public research service for people interested in consulting sources relating to the history, culture, heritage, and life of the island community, past and present. However, it is hoped that in the years after 2021 progress can be made in that matter. The compilation of data for the O Driscoll International Memorial Archive is also part of the same Lankford Cape Clear Collection archiving initiative. Cartlann Chléire, The Lankford Cape Clear Collection (Abbrev. LCC) is divided into 55 categories of data, Nos. 1 – 55 below.
Éamon Lankford would be pleased to hear from anyone who is willing to donate documentation relating to any aspect of the Lankford Cape Clear Collection.
