I have compiled a video of Dorothea Lange's photographs
of County Clare 1954.Which appear in the 1998 published
"Dorothea Lange's Ireland".On her stay in Ireland she took
2,400 photographs,which are archived in The Oakland Museum
of California.

On behalf of the many of us who have voiced interest in this photo collection, thanks for providing a way to see some of it.
The music is a definite plus. I have traveled hundreds of miles on a research trip to a renown U.S. library which lists the
Lange book in its collection, only to learn that it has gone missing.

Let's see if the future has a trip to the San Francisco area so that I can try arranging to see the entire 2400 photos held in
nearby Oakland. If so, I would be spending several days in order to report back on what all is in that collection, sorted by
family name and specific locality.

Contact prints of the 20,820 photos in the "Early Years (1918- ) Portraits & Lange Personal Photos" can be viewed on the Online Archive of California website at http://www.oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=ft3 ... view=items

Limiting the collection by searching for 'Ireland' brings up 2,400 images:

Or selecting the 'Ireland' subsection of the 'Collection Contents' brings up
http://www.oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=ft3 ... c#omca_742
which also includes descriptions of the photos and links to thumbnail and larger versions of the contact prints.

The site doesn't seem to have taken note of the names of people and places featured in the book published in 1998.

It's such a pity that the DVD of Dierdre Lynch's film 'Photos to Send' (see other postings on this forum) is not widely available. The film 'Photos to Send' is a superb re-visit of the places and people photographed by Dorothea Lange.
