RTÉ Libraries And Archives
The RTÉ Libraries and Archives are a collection of photographs, sounds recordings, video footage and written records (of articles such as scripts) in various formats across a wide range of topics pertaining to Irish life and society. The collection is derived from the material used by Raidió TeilifÃs Éireann in their activities as national broadcaster for Ireland. As RTÉ is part funded by a licence fee from Irish householders with televisions, it has a responsibility to maintain and update this collection and make it available to the general public.

The remaining footage largely consists of random extracts, rather than complete series. However, they provide insightful examples of historical programming. During Christmas 2021 much more footage of clips, news, sports and programmes were added to mark 60 years of television. On Thursday December ...
