The Irish and Breton Cylinders at University College Dublin
Invited by the Department of Irish Folklore, University College Dublin, I was able to carry out the digitization onto CD of 450 cylinders this summer in Dublin. These recordings are unique, made from 1899 on standard format cylinders, up until 1952 on Dictaphone cylinders.
This cylinder is over a thousand years old.
I was able to continue work on-site that had begun in France. In fact, over 250 cylinders had already been sent to me last winter by mail, securely packaged, for an initial session of work. I emphasize that there was no breakage.

This collection of over 1300 cylinders also includes around forty cylinders recorded in Brittany as part of the collections of the composer and musicologist Maurice Duhamel [1884-1940], who pioneered the concept of the "Celtic range".
