Sheela na gigs and digital heritage with Gary Dempsey

I was really interested to learn about digital achievers, folk who preserve physical artefacts by scanning them to make a digital copy for posterity. So me and Shameen went to Galway to meet Gary Dempsey of Digital Heritage Age to learn all about it and chat sheela na gigs and other Irish artefacts too.
