                <text>&lt;p&gt;This collection consists of a series of historical photographs documenting the lives of Irish Travellers, originally published by the &lt;em&gt;Irish Examiner&lt;/em&gt;. These images provide a unique and intimate glimpse into the culture, lifestyle, and challenges faced by Irish Travellers, a traditionally nomadic ethnic group in Ireland. Captured across several decades, the photographs highlight a variety of subjects, including family life, life on the road, evictions, and interactions with broader Irish society.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The collection, generously made available by the &lt;em&gt;Irish Examiner&lt;/em&gt;, offers a significant visual record of the Traveller community, showing both the resilience and the changing dynamics of a group whose way of life has often been marginalised or misunderstood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Access and Use:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection has been digitised and is now available for online access. It has been made accessible with the kind permission of the&lt;em&gt; Irish Examiner&lt;/em&gt;. The images are provided for educational, research, and non-commercial use, and users are encouraged to explore the collection to gain insights into the culture and history of Irish Travellers.&lt;/p&gt;
