Presentation of Éamon de Buitléar Archive to NUI Galway



Éamon de Buitléar, distinguished wildlife filmmaker, traditional musician, author and former Senator has donated his archive to NUI Galway. 

The archive relates to the life and work of Éamon de Búitléar, consisting of film, audiotape, photographs, correspondence, files and audiovisual equipment, and includes some material relating to his father, An Coirnéal Éamon de Buitléar. A series of 29 interviews totalling 18 hours, recently recorded with Éamon, contextualises the archive and is included in it.

NUI Galway will digitise, catalogue, preserve and enable access to the archive through a partnership between Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge and the James Hardiman Library. The archive of Éamon de Buitléar will be a rich source for students and researchers in the areas of film- making, natural history, traditional music and the Irish language. These are all subjects of importance at NUI Galway and the University will make the digital archive available for exploitation by academic and lay audiences, particularly in Gaeltacht areas.
For further information, please see:

An exhibition of material from the archive will be on display in the foyer of the James Hardiman Library from Thursday 29 November onwards.
