Ciara Kerrigan of the NLI chats with Dr Sarah Hendriks, Archival Discovery and Library Network Lead of the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI), and curator of hybrid exhibition Collecting Ireland’s History: Libraries and the recovery of lost records.

Hear about the work of the VRTI and its collaboration with the National Library of Ireland, alongside stories of unique manuscripts and the fascinating individuals who have enabled their survival over the centuries.

Collecting Ireland’s History explores the diverse approaches to collecting Irish historical manuscripts of the last 700 years; and the role of libraries in preserving and recovering lost materials.
