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.

On May 25 and 26th, ITMA attended the 11th edition of RTÉ and the FIAT/IFTA Media Management Commission’s “Changing Sceneries, Changing Roles” Seminars, focusing on media management, metadata, rights, new emerging technologies and changing skillsets.
The theme of this year’s seminar, which was hosted at Dublin City University, was ‘Digital Transformation, Sustainability and Media Archives: Challenges and Opportunities’.
The group of 150 international delegates included researchers, archivists, developers, journalists and the wider media management community. The seminar’s speakers and panels focused on new challenges, innovative workflows and practical solutions facing the digital archiving and broadcasting community.
ITMA digital archivist Adam Girard spoke on day one of the conference, where he discussed planning a new digital storage infrastructure for ITMA.
