Picture
'Shoeboxes', by Kevin Lee and Tom Jenkins, could be described as our flagship publication. It follows any years of research carried out in Dublin, Sheffield, Kingston and Ottawa. Set against the history of the Earl Fitzwilliam-owned Coollattin Estate in County Wicklow, Ireland, the book tells in great detail the stories of 52 of the families who were assisted in emigrating to Canada, during our darkest hours. No expense has been spared in the production of this magnificent coffee table book. It is lavishly illustrated throughout with maps and original artwork. It also contains images of many of the emigrants who left our shores with little material possessions but with great hope in their hearts. We know that this book will have pride of place on many a bookshelf and will in time become a collector's item.
Cost including P&P:
Ireland and Northern Ireland - €39
United Kingdom - €45
Canada and the US - €55
Of special interest to our North American diaspora is our offer of 3 copies of 'Shoeboxes' (incl. P&P) for €150
