At the end of June 2018 IMC adopted a new Strategic Development Plan for 2018-2022. This plan builds specifically on the outcomes of the Strategic Development Plan 2012-2016 and more generally on the international reputation gained by the Irish Manuscripts Commission over almost 90 years of publishing primary sources for the histories and cultures of Ireland.
The vision of IMC is to promote public and institutional awareness of and access to primary source materials for the histories, cultures and heritage of Ireland and its peoples. IMC serves in particular the cultural heritage and academic communities and is committed to supporting the Government’s strategic objectives that recognise the vital role of culture and heritage in our national life.
