In 1979 elections were held to the European Parlia­ Printedby 'Nationalist' Carlow ment. Manufacturing and retail firms with their headquarters abroad have established bases in Carlow. The days of living in isolation have long since passed. The question of where l<'Cal history fits into these developments could be asked. Surely we should be looking to the future, not to the past. It is precisely because the pace of change is so rapid that modern man often feels disorientated and lost. Local history can restore a sense of belonging; it can give a feeling of security, of continuity. The Old Carlow Sociaety by means of lectures, out­ ings and a fine museum increases an awareness of our sur­ roundings. The more these surroundings change the more impor­ tant the work of the society. To be interested in the past is not the same as living in the past. A voluntary society can only achieve so much and so it is gratifying to notice the interest in local history that public bodies are displaying. Carlow County Council makes an annual subven­ tion to the Old Carlow Society's Museum and helps to lessen the financial headaches of the committee.
