Grace Toland, Director of ITMA, has announced that she intends to step down from her current role with effect from late Summer 2019

The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) wishes to recruit a graduate librarian/archivist for a one-year fixed term contract. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic individual to gain experience in, and contribute to, the work of a busy multimedia cultural organisation.

The first jazz conference in Ireland will take place at TU Dublin, Conservatory of Music and Drama, Rathmines from 17 January to 19 January 2019. ITMA will be on hand on Thursday 17th to 'play' the earliest known Irish jazz recording - a 1949 78 rpm disc recorded in Dublin.

NearFM have now made the 3-part radio series Within a Mile of Dublin available as podcasts.

ITMA open Monday - Friday, 10 am - 5 pm during December 2018.

Curious about how singers and scholars find new songs? Or make connections with old ones? Indexes and catalogues are often essential tools. ITMA is delighted to contribute to the largest index of English-language song currently in existence.

The Irish Traditional Music Archive greatly regrets the recent death of its former Chairman Professor Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin (1950–2018) and extends its sympathies to his family, colleagues, and many friends.

Tenders are invited for two contracts relating to a Audio and Audiovisual Digitisation, Preservation, and Access Project in 2019.
