Leaders in Irish Music Heritage Preservation 2026
Founded in 1987, the Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is home to the largest, most comprehensive collection of Irish traditional music, song, and dance in the world. ITMA digitises, preserves and offers free universal access to valuable recordings, photographs, manuscripts, and other archived materials that would otherwise be lost. In doing this, ITMA also connects contemporary artists with archived materials to inspire new art, helping to build the living archive of the future.
