Archival history
Original reel-to-reel tapes and audio cassettes were loaned to ITMA for copying by Mick O'Connor. The collection originally belonged to John Brennan, Sligo / Dublin; it was largely compiled by John Brennan. The tapes were digitised to CD-R by Jackie Smalls in 2005. CD-R copies were transferred to Broadcast WAV files by Memnon Archiving Services, Brussels in 2019.

Scope and content
Collection comprises reel-to-reel tapes featuring off-air dubs of RTÉ radio programmes, dubs of commerical material, edited dubs of material recorded by John Brennan in the US, and other domestic and field recordings of traditional Irish musicians.
Appraisal, destruction and scheduling
Some of the tapes contain poor-quality dubs of material that ITMA has already in better quality, and of material that is available on commercial recordings; this material has not been digitised.
