About RTÉ Archives
RTÉ Archives are responsible for collecting, preserving and making accessible the creative and documentary output of the national broadcaster.
Combining hundreds of thousands of hours of moving image and sound recordings together with significant collections of photographs, manuscripts and administrative documents, RTÉ Archives contain a unique record of Irish life.
As well as keeping these audiovisual records RTÉ Archives are looking to make more content available on an increasing number of platforms and devices. RTÉ Archives provide content for radio and television programmes. This website contains items chosen from hundreds of thousands of hours of archives. Other radio and television content has been published and is available to purchase on CD and DVD.
RTÉ’s ambition is to continue to open up the RTÉ Archives to as broad a public in as many different ways as possible.
