Digital Repository of Ireland

The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is a research performing organisation and national Trusted Digital Repository (TDR) for Ireland’s humanities, cultural heritage, and social sciences data. DRI provides reliable, long-term, sustained digital preservation and access to social and cultural digital data. We make this data openly available in line with the FAIR data principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. Our aim is to safeguard Ireland’s social, cultural, and historical record through active management of digital content over time to ensure that this content remains accessible to researchers, cultural heritage enthusiasts, and members of the public into the future. We support best practice in digital archiving, digital preservation, Open Access, Open Research, and FAIR data sharing.
