Digital Repository of Ireland

The DRI is a national trusted digital repository for Ireland's social and cultural data. It links and preserves historical and contemporary material held by Irish institutions, and it is a focal point for national guidelines and policy on digital preservation and access. Inspiring Ireland is a DRI project. The repository was built by a research consortium of six academic partners: the Royal Irish Academy (lead institute), Maynooth University, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin Institute of Technology, University of Galway, and the National College of Art and Design.
