News Reels

The Archive holds representative material from all but one of the indigenously produced Irish cinema newsreel series and a selection of issues from foreign newsreel Irish editions (e.g. Universal Irish News, Movietone Irish Edition). The earliest home-produced newsreel material is from the Irish Events newsreel (1917 – 1919) and the most recent, the Gael Linn Amharc Eireann series (1956- 1964).
