The GAA today launched its online digital archive for the period 1913-1923, one of the key projects undertaken by the Association to mark the centenary of the 1916 Rising.

Included in this multi-media archive (www.gaa.ie/centenary) are match reports, photographs, film footage and administrative records from the revolutionary decade of 1913-1923. The archive also contains an online museum with bespoke videos showcasing key artefacts from the period.

Launching the archive Aogán Ó Fearghail, Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, commented: “This is a fantastic resource for anyone who has an interest in our history – and not just the history of Cumann Lúthchleas Gael.

“It features a wide array of photographs, articles and documentation that have been gathered in the same place for the first time ever and this is available to everyone, not least students of history who may want to focus in on the period.

“As an Association we have been proactive in celebrating our history in this significant milestone year and I am delighted that this resource compliments the host of activities we have organised.”
