    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.

    €10

    Help ensure that the well of Irish music, song and dance is preserved for present and future generations.

    €20

    Donations of any level help ITMA digitise, preserve and offer free universal access to valuable materials that would otherwise be lost.

    €100

    The support of donors ensures ITMA can deliver an increasingly better service. Without private support, the transformative year we experienced in 2023 would not have been possible.

    €200

    Make your donation go further: a donation of €250 or more in any tax year is worth an additional 44.93% to ITMA. So for €50 more, ITMA can claim an additional €112.33 tax back from revenue.

    €250

    Irish-based donors can see their donations augmented by the State through the CHY3 form, which makes any donation above €250 worth €362.33 towards ITMA’s archival work, at no additional cost to you.

    €500

    ITMA is eligible for 501(c)3 donations, so for potential donors based in the USA, donating to ITMA can be a tax efficient way of making more and more archival material accessible to remote users.

    This project is co-funded by Ireland’s Department of Culture, Communications & Sport and Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade as part of America 250.

    Across the States: An Irish Cultural Atlas of America is a major new online exhibition from ITMA exploring Irish music in the U.S. This project is a central part of Ireland’s America250 commemorative programme marking the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence

    The map features archival audio, video and visual materials across all 50 U.S. states, documenting not only the history of Irish music in the U.S., but also the living tradition that continues to grow and thrive today.

    The map also includes special features to help users better navigate the vast amount of information it stores, including bespoke short documentaries curated by ITMA, which present unique and compelling stories of Irish music in America.
