The Story of Us: Census 1926 is a landmark exhibition marking this historic release of census records. It explores the world reflected in the census and reveals what life was like in 1926: in towns and cities, across rural communities and islands, from crowded urban tenements to the mansions of the aristocracy. Using contemporary documents and photographs, audio‑visual displays, and — at its heart — the census returns themselves, the exhibition presents a vivid portrait of Ireland a century ago. Visitors will encounter stories of work and daily life, language and culture, sport and entertainment, religion, gender, and the social realities of a newly independent state. The exhibition forms part of a major public programme presented by the National Archives, with events in Ireland, the UK and the United States.

Founded in 2017 by Matthew Melis and The Comics Lab, part of the Stray Lines comic book group, DCAF aims to showcase the work of local comic book creators and celebrate the diverse appeal of Irish comic book art.

The Dublin Comic Book Festival (DCAF) is a series of quarterly comic book art events held in Dublin, Ireland. The 2026 event will take place on April 19, July 12, October 18, and November 29.
