The Prisons Memory Archive has recorded 175 interviews and walk-and-talk recordings with those who passed through Armagh Gaol, the Maze and Long Kesh Prison during the 30 years of the violent conflict about the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. The range of participants in the PMA includes prison staff, prisoners, visitors, teachers, chaplains and probation officers. The testimonies have been grouped by theme to aid navigation e.g. release, education, coping, visits. The PMA is an ongoing project and new interviews are being added to the site. The website also provides a filmography of feature films and documentaries which deal with prisoners’ experiences.

Radharc was an Irish television documentary religious affairs series broadcast by RTÉ Television from 1962 until 1996. The documentaries were created by a film unit funded by the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, John Charles McQuaid, in anticipation of the inauguration of television broadcasting in Ireland by RTÉ in December 1961. The film unit was staffed exclusively by Catholic priests, including Joe Dunn, Desmond Forristal and Sean Lemass. The Irish language word radharc means vision, view, or panorama.
The Radharc collection is one of the most important and substantial bodies of work held by the Irish Film Institute. The collection totals some 2,340 cans and 2,093 broadcast quality tapes. Over 130 documentaries deal with non-Irish issues. The material acquired comprises the various preservation elements required to produce a finished documentary, including soundtracks, voiceovers, sound effects, off cuts, final mix negatives, cutting copies and final prints, with copyright in the films shared between the Radharc Trust and RTÉ.
A number of the titles can be viewed freely on the website.
