Donegal County Council Archives Service has acquired the collection of photographs of Ann Doherty in 2018. Ms Doherty’s stunning photographs feature ordinary people often living in extraordinary situations across the world from Ireland to Sierra Leone, from Italy to Armenia, Ukraine to Egypt. Her images from the late 1990s and early 2000s bring the lives of people from many different nations and cultures sharply into focus against backgrounds of conflict, poverty, social deprivation, hardship, trauma and remoteness.

Donegal County Archives has received a Heritage Council Stewardship grant from The Heritage Council to catalogue, digitise and display the collection. Ciarán Walsh has begun work on the project in collaboration with Niamh Brennan, Archivist, and Ann Doherty, photographer. An exhibition of Doherty’s photographs is scheduled to open in Donegal County Museum in Letterkenny in September 2022.
