Summary:

"A first in Ireland, the release of a collection of 20th century images to the Public Domain.  The decision was taken to digitise the Sybil Connolly Collection in high resolution and dedicate it to the public domain with the blessing of John Connolly, Sybil’s nephew.  The majority of the collection was acquired between 1999 and 2000 by The Hunt Museum.  The aim of this bold step is to increase the use of the collection in education, by creative industry and in research by removing any copyright restriction."
