RTÉ Raidió Na Gaeltachta
/Collections/Archives/RnaG)
The RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta sound archive consists of material originally broadcast by RTÉ from its Doiri Beaga studios in County Donegal between 1972 and 2002. This is an Irish language facility, dedicated to serving and reflecting the way of life of Donegal Gaeltacht. Its 2,000 hours of programming over these thirty years are a rich source of song, poetry, folklore, story, music sport, current affairs and conversation.
Now this valuable resource is available to the public at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum, the only place in Ulster apart from the studios themselves where the material can be found. The archive has been committed to CD-ROM, ensuring clarity of sound reproduction and accessibility, and should be of enormous interest to researchers and students of the Irish language in particular.
Enquiries are welcomed from bona fide researchers and interested members of the public. Please note that copies of programmes cannot be provided due to copyright restrictions. Access to the archive is granted for reference and research purposes only, and may only be arranged by prior appointment.
