The John James Quinn (1873-1944) Collection contains photographs, glass plate negatives, postcards, and personal letters created and collected by Irish photographer John James Quinn of Ballypatrick, Clonmel in the late 19th and early 20th century. Quinn was an avid photographer who documented his life in both Ireland and abroad through images. Spanning a period of great change in Ireland, this collection provides insight into the evolving landscape and culture of Quinn’s native country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The accompanying Tipperary Studies documentary film ‘I Hope All My Friends Come Out Safe will be shown on Wednesday, May 28th at 6pm.
