A new digital exhibition of the Tuam Oral History Project has opened as researchers and survivors pave the way for consultation on a memorial that could be set within the campus of NUI Galway.

The Tuam Oral History Project, led by Dr Sarah Anne Buckley and Dr John Cunningham, is collecting and archiving the oral histories and life stories of survivors of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home. The latest initiative, which was officially launched on Thursday, features biographies of some of the survivors and a new podcast series narrated by the actor and Patron of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre NUI Galway, Cillian Murphy.
