About Us

Tobar an Dualchais/Kist o Riches is dedicated to the presentation and promotion of audio recordings of Scotland’s cultural heritage through its website and subsidiary projects. It exists to make these recordings widely accessible and to create a broader and deeper understanding of its content, inspiring new research and creative work, educational opportunities and community engagement.

The Team

The Tobar an Dualchais/Kist o Riches team is led by the initiative director and includes experts in cataloguing, copyright permissions and public outreach. Alongside the team, and in collaboration with Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, we also support a PhD student.
