In 2014, ITMA partnered with Europeana Sounds. As part of a €6.14-million project that ran over three years, libraries and archives from all over Europe worked together to make more than 1,000,000 sound records and sound-related objects freely available online. Some of the recordings that ITMA provided are now appearing in blogs associated with that project.

ITMA is closed on Good Friday (March 30) and Easter Monday (April 2).

The Irish Traditional Music Archive greatly regrets the recent deaths of three of its former board members: Finbar Boyle, Garech Browne, and Liam O’Flynn. All three made important and enduring contributions to Irish traditional music, contributions of different kinds. The board and staff of ITMA extend their sympathies to the families, friends, and colleagues of each.

ITMA announces the appointment of three new board members: Áine Hensey, Lillis Ó Laoire, and Úna Monaghan.

From the 9–13 April 2018, ITMA will close to the public to facilitate stock taking and cleaning the library collection.

With more than 25,000 books in our library, there's no better place to explore a world of information, art, and music than ITMA.
