Sound and Visual Media Archives
The Sound Archive
The sound archive reflects the work of museum staff and the work of other groups. Recordings relate to transport, industry, crafts, folklore, language, music and song.
Oral histories are drawn from across the local community. Today the collection continues to grow. Recordings are made in the museum's studio, and by projects involving non staff or groups.
Oral history recordings provide valuable first-hand testimony of the past. The views and opinions expressed in oral history interviews are those of the interviewees, who describe events from their own perspective, and not those of National Museums NI.
It should be remembered that the interviews are historical documents and their language, tone and content sometimes reflect attitudes that are no longer considered acceptable in today’s society.
The museum now video records activity that will be of long term historical value. Some of this material is available to view on our YouTube channel.
Film Archive
In addition to still images the museum has collected moving images in the form of film over the years. This material is currently being digitised to enable researchers to view this historical portal to our past. In collaboration with Northern Ireland Screen the museum is an access point to the "Digital Film Archive" that provides, via a computer station, 70 hours of digitised moving images about Northern Ireland from 1897-2000.
The RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta
The RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta sound archive consists of programmes broadcast from the Doiri Beaga studios in County Donegal between 1972 and 2012. This Irish-language station reflects the way of life of Donegal Gaeltacht. Its 2,000 hours of programming are a rich source of song, poetry, folklore, story, music sport and current affairs. The archive is of interest to researchers and students of the Irish language. Housed at the Ulster Folk Museum, the archive may be used by bona fide researchers and members of the public.
- Please note that copies of programmes cannot be provided due to copyright law.
- Access to the archive is for study and research purposes only and may only be arranged by prior appointment.
