Since its establishment in 2007, the GAA Library and Archive has been collecting the publications, records and archives of the GAA at central, provincial and county board levels.
The GAA Library and Archive now seeks to expand its collections of material relating to Camogie, as part of the Camogie Association’s Newman Fellowship Project at University College Dublin.
The Fellowship project on the history of Camogie was launched to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the founding of Camogie, and will document the unique place of Camogie in Irish life since the beginning of the twentieth century.
The GAA Library and Archive collects material that contains information on the GAA, Camogie Association and LGFA. This includes material written about the GAA and Gaelic games, (books, magazines etc.) and material created by the GAA (records and archives).
The specific type of material collected by the GAA Library and Archive includes administrative records (minute books and convention reports in particular), publications (books and articles), magazines, annuals, photographs, posters and flyers, GAA newspapers and match programmes. Find out everything you need to know about the GAA Library and Archive collection process here.
As part of the Camogie Association 120th Year commemorations, the GAA Library and Archive is interested in acquiring any camogie material that contains information that can, or will, be used by historians and researchers, both now and in future years, including:
- Minute books
- Convention reports
- Match programmes and souvenir programmes (i.e. opening of grounds)
- Publications (books, magazines and annuals)
- Old photographs
- Letters and diaries relating to Camogie
