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.

William Mullaly

1884-1950s

Little is known about concertina player William Mullaly, who was born in 1884 near Mullingar in County Westmeath and arrived in New York in 1910. Mullaly’s lasting fame rests on the ten 78 rpm sides he recorded for Victor and Columbia in 1926 and 1927. These discs, enhanced by fine piano from Ed Geoghegan and Ed Lee, made Mullaly virtually the only Irish concertina player to record before the 1960s.
