The Irish Traditional Music Archive

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’s mission is to be the national public archive and resource centre for Irish traditional music, song and dance, and the globally-recognized specialist advisory agency to advance appreciation, knowledge, and the practice of Irish traditional music.

ITMA digitizes, preserves and offers free universal access to valuable recordings, photographs, manuscripts, and other archived materials that would otherwise be lost. In doing this, we also connect contemporary artists with archived materials in order to inspire new art, helping to build the living archive of the future.
