Users

The Archive is widely used on a daily basis. Users include singers, musicians, dancers, private-interest listeners, students at all levels, teachers, researchers and writers, librarians and archivists, broadcasters and publishers, arts administrators, and the general public, a significant number of whom come from abroad.

The Archive is open to all, and provides a bilingual service in Irish and English. Visitors to the Archive may listen to recordings, view DVDs and photographs, read music collections and music studies, research material and topics of interest, receive advice from staff on their area of research etc. An introduction to the Archive and its facilities is also provided by staff.

From outside the Archive, members of the public may make basic straightforward queries by phone, fax and post. An ongoing development project to make the Archive's catalogues available on a self-service basis on the Internet is currently in progress (see Catalogues & Databases).

Staff currently deal with over 5,000 research visits or queries from individual users and organisations each year while also carrying out a wide variety of other duties.
