RTÉ Libraries and Archives

The RTÉ Archives and Libraries 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 Teilifís Éireann in their activities as national broadcaster for Ireland.

As RTÉ is part funded from a licence fee from Irish householders with televisions, it is a significant responsibility to maintain and update these collections and to make them available generally.
