In 2024, on behalf of the Heritage Office of Mayo County Council, Mac Conmara Heritage Consulting delivered the Mayo Audit of Oral Heritage Recordings, which aimed to list all known voice recordings of Mayo folklore, oral history, tradition etc.

Following an extraordinary public response last year, they are now commencing an ambitious Phase II in 2025. They are confident there is even more precious material recorded over the years around the county, which they do not want to miss.

Finding the Recorded Voices of Mayo
To compile the list of Mayo related voice recordings of folklore, oral history, tradition etc, the Heritage Office of Mayo County Council wants to hear from anyone with information on collections or recordings.

If you wish to contribute or find out more, you can get in contact with Mac Conmara Heritage Consulting, at [email protected] or 086 778 4669.
