    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.

    ITMA featured on RTÉ Nationwide

    Friday 27 February 2026

    ITMA was delighted to be featured on RTÉ Nationwide on Friday, 20th February about our new satellite office in Oidhreacht an Chlair Miltown Malbay and our new Clare Digital Access Officer Liam O’Brien. Both Liam O’Brien and ITMA CEO Liam O’Connor discuss the new Clare office and how it will help ITMA to gather and archive the music of County Clare.

    As Clare Digital Access and Development Officer, Liam O’Brien will facilitate the digitisation, cataloguing and increase in access to the more than 10,000 Clare-related materials currently housed in ITMA’s extensive collection in Dublin. Along with this, he will work with the community in Clare to bring new collections into the archive. As a result, this three-year position will provide the people of Clare with unprecedented access to their musical heritage — inspiring cultural engagement and contributing to the social, economic and cultural sustainability of the county. This position has been supported by The Michael Guinee Charitable Foundation.
