The brief
The Irish Memorial commemorates An Gorta Mór, the Great Hunger of 1845 to 1850. It honors those who perished and those who fled, and the contributions they went on to make to the city, the state and the nation. The memorial needed a website as considered as the monument itself.
What we built
- A learning hub: historical essays, personal stories, Voices of An Gorta Mór and a timeline of the Famine
- Visit planning: directions, group and school visits, and what to see
- An events calendar
- Online giving, including the capital campaign
- A guide to Irish Philadelphia
- Irish-language touches throughout, from the welcome onward
