The IVRLA digital repository draws on UCD’s extensive archival resources, allowing this material to be accessed in a digitised format from a single virtual location. The IVRLA presents 32 curated collections as well as a series of 17 research projects which demonstrate the research potential of this major digital repository. The IVRLA, which is a component of the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland, was funded under PRTLI Cycle 3 and we are delighted to make the resource freely available. To celebrate the completion of this five-year project, we are pleased to invite you to the following events which are part of the Innovation Dublin festival.
