Bunaíodh Gael Linn sa bhliain 1953 agus is liosta le háireamh iad na tionscnaimh uile ar thug an eagraíocht fúthu ó shin, roinnt mhaith acu dírithe ar dhaoine óga. Ag na himeachtaí seo ba mhinic grianghrafadóir a bheith i láthair agus tá iarracht déanta sa chartlann seo na pictiúir a ghlac siad a chur ar fáil don phobal. Iarbhainisteoir Scéimeanna Náisiúnta Gael Linn, Seán Ó Ceallaigh, atá i mbun na hoibre seo agus tá an chuid is mó de na grianghraif bainteach leis na scéimeanna a raibh baint aige féin leo, ach go háirithe na comórtais díospóireachta, Slógadh, Siansa, Scoláireachtaí Trí Mhí srl. Tugann na gailearaithe éagsúla léargas ar obair na heagraíochta le blianta anuas agus léiríonn siad freisin an oiread daoine a bhfuil cáil bainte amach acu i réimsí éagsúla den saol, a thosnaigh amach le scéimeanna Gael Linn. Ábhar mórtais do Gael Linn é go bhfuil an-chuid acu seo fós ag plé le cúrsaí Gaeilge. Faraor níl fotheidil ná dáta ar roinnt de na grianghraif sa chartlann agus bheadh muid fíorbhuíoch den bpobal as aon eolas breise a sholáthar dúinn faoi aon cheann acu. Leis na fotheidil a fheiceáil ar na pictiúir ní gá ach cliceáil orthu go haonarach. Tá fáilte roimh an bpobal íoslódáil a dhéanamh ar aon ghrianghraf le haghaidh úsáid phearsanta amháin. Má tá aon eolas agat féin faoi aon phictiúir ní gá ach rphost a chur chugainn ag [email protected]. Freisin, má tá aon seanghrianghraif ag éinne sa mbaile gur mhaith leo a roinnt linn cuirfimid suas ar an suíomh iad.Déan teagmháil linn ag [email protected]

Gael Linn was founded in 1953 and since then has been one of the leading Irish language organisations in the country. People will be well aware of the many projects undertaken by Gael Linn to promote our language and indeed many of you will have participated in one or other of our initiatives, schemes such as Slógadh, debating competitions, Siansa, Gaeltacht courses etc. Throughout the years many thousands of photographs were taken at Gael Linn events and copies of some of them were stored in our head office. This archive, created and managed by Seán Ó Ceallaigh, a former manager of our Educational Schemes department, is an effort to share them with the public. Unfortunately, many of the photographs do not have captions and we would welcome any further information about them. Details such as peoples names, the year, the venue etc. would enable us to update all information. The public are welcome to download photographs, but for personal use only. If anybody has additional information or old photographs that they would like to be part of this archive please contact us at [email protected]
