2. About the DRI The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is a CoreTrustSeal-certified digital repository for the preservation of Ireland’s humanities, cultural heritage, and social sciences digital data for long-term access. DRI provides reliable, long-term, sustained digital preservation and access to social and cultural digital data generated by researchers in Ireland, held by Irish institutions, or digital material pertaining to the island of Ireland. We support best practice in digital preservation, open access, open research, and FAIR data sharing.

3. About the DRI DRI operates on a membership model; we provide stewardship for digital content but do not claim ownership. Currently the DRI has 56 mem bers.

4. Working with Research Projects The multi-party structure and time limited nature of research projects means that there are often important differences in their requirements from our regular member organisations: special ist staff availability Ingest schedule and training infrastructure requirements collection management and deposit agreements

5. Research Projects and the DRI: Feminist Art Making Histories A collaboration between Loughborough University and the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dún Laoghaire to record, curate, and archive 50 years’ worth of oral histories and digitised records of feminist artists in Ireland and the UK. Funded by UKRI-AHRC and the Irish Research Council under the ‘UK-Ireland Collaboration in the Digital Humanities Research Grants Call’ https://iadt.ie/news/feminist-art-making-history/

6. Research Projects and the DRI: RIA Nowlan Digitisation Grants The grants aim to expand the range of digitised historical and archaeological sources available through open and free access to researchers, for private study or education purposes. Focus on professional digitisation with a distinct and identifiable standalone output. https://www.ria.ie/grants/nowlan-digitisation-grants/
