THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY IS IRELAND'S LEADING BODY OF EXPERTS IN THE SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann champions research. We identify and recognise Ireland’s world class researchers. We support scholarship and promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. We believe that good research needs to be promoted, sustained and communicated. The Academy is run by a Council of its members. Membership is by election and considered the highest academic honour in Ireland.

The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is hosting an information session about our DRI Community Archive Scheme.

As a publicly funded repository for Ireland’s social and cultural data, the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) believes it is important to make long-term preservation accessible to a wide range of organisations, including those operating on a non-funded, voluntary basis. The Community Archive Scheme is one way that DRI works to help preserve and steward cultural heritage, social science and research data by giving community groups with at-risk digital material a route to preservation. This scheme offers associate membership to a group with no or low funding for the period of time it takes them to ingest a collection  (see benefits aligned with ‘Associate’ level membership on our DRI Membership page.) DRI Membership under the DRI Community Archive Scheme is offered for the period it takes to ingest one collection. 

This 30-minute information session starts at 10:00 am on Monday, 10 October and is for anyone interested in applying for the DRI's Community Archive Scheme. It will explain the benefits of the scheme, how to apply, and how applications are judged. The information session will be presented by Lisa Griffith, DRI’s Membership Manager, and there will be plenty of time for questions. 

For more information on the DRI Community Archive Scheme, and to download the application form, please visit our dedicated DRI Community Archive Scheme webpage.
