    The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.

    €10

    Help ensure that the well of Irish music, song and dance is preserved for present and future generations.

    €20

    Donations of any level help ITMA digitise, preserve and offer free universal access to valuable materials that would otherwise be lost.

    €100

    The support of donors ensures ITMA can deliver an increasingly better service. Without private support, the transformative year we experienced in 2023 would not have been possible.

    €200

    Make your donation go further: a donation of €250 or more in any tax year is worth an additional 44.93% to ITMA. So for €50 more, ITMA can claim an additional €112.33 tax back from revenue.

    €250

    Irish-based donors can see their donations augmented by the State through the CHY3 form, which makes any donation above €250 worth €362.33 towards ITMA’s archival work, at no additional cost to you.

    €500

    ITMA is eligible for 501(c)3 donations, so for potential donors based in the USA, donating to ITMA can be a tax efficient way of making more and more archival material accessible to remote users.

    Upcoming Event

    A digital humanities site featuring dedication pages by Capt. Francis O’Neill in his books of Irish traditional music, signed by the author, assembled to contextualize 1900s life in Irish America.

    The 75+ dedication pages in Capturing O’Neill have been crowd-sourced from a wide variety of archives, libraries, enthusiasts and private collectors. The research behind biographic information has been assembled by many of those involved, as well as by students in Scott B. Spencer’s Irish Music graduate course. The site has been curated by Dr. Scott B. Spencer (University of Southern California) with input, advice, review and perspective from:
    Drs. Aileen Dillane (University of Limerick), Michael O’Malley (George Mason University), Daniel T. Neely (Irish Echo), Sean Williams (The Evergreen State College) with hosting and material support from the Ward Irish Music Archives in Milwaukee, and archival and material support from the Irish Traditional Music Archive in Dublin.
