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 would like to thank Jack Kavanagh and Niamh Galligan for the work done during their summer internship in the archive.
Over the course of their internships, Jack and Niamh worked closely on three collections: Bailiúchán Phádraigín Ní Uallacháin, the Len Graham Collection, and the ITMA Ephemera Collection.
Jack and Niamh were responsible for creating detailed lists, re-packaging items and cataloguing the collections with new archival location information.
ITMA was delighted to take delivery of Bailiúchán Phádraigín Ní Uallacháin in December 2022. The collection contains manuscripts, ephemera (posters, flyers, programmes etc.), printed material, photographs, sound recordings, including reel-to-reel tapes and correspondence. The materials relate to Pádraigín’s life and work as a professional singer, researcher, song writer, author and composer.
The Len Graham Collection includes photographs, ephemera (posters, programmes, flyers, etc), printed material (periodicals) relating to band Skylark, John Campbell and Cathal McConnell.
