As part of RTÉ's commitment to Irish Public Service Broadcasting this site provides access to a rich and diverse selection of the audio-visual material preserved by RTÉ Libraries and Archives. The site offers over 400 archived broadcast items in our sections, 'Look & Listen' and 'History of RTÉ'. The items can be viewed or listened to in RealMedia format.
RTÉ aims to provide additional content to the site in the coming months and years that, alongside the increased availability of broadband services, will provide high quality public access to a unique collection of broadcasting artefacts.
In recognizing the potential of this site as an educational resource, RTÉ aims to provide content that might be used in learning and teaching across all levels of Irish education. See 'History of RTÉ' for a selection of key moments in Public Service Broadcasting in Ireland since the foundation of 2RN in 1926.
This site also provides the opportunity for listeners and viewers to request copies of many archived items to purchase for private use. Professional users may also request or order copies of archived material for commercial re-use subject to terms and conditions, and copyright law.
Please see our 'Sales & Services' section for more information.
