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.
ITMA not only collects sound recordings, books and images but also thousands of event flyers, posters, and small artefacts from events around the country.
Known in the archival world as ephemera, they provide in many cases the only documented record of concerts, local sessions, and the life and times of musicians and bands.
We hope this gallery will provide a window into the weird and wonderful world of our ephemera collection.
As part of Heritage Week 2017, ITMA is also running an exhibition in our premises at 73 Merrion Square, which you can read more about here.
