These exhibitions celebrate and explore ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Northern Ireland's past, whether through describing the development of local ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ journalism through Chronicle, looking at the contributions made by particular individuals, such as Louis MacNeice in Castles on the Air, or considering the impact of television in Magic Box.
Many of them have toured local museums and libraries and have been used as the foundation for associated talks and events.
No single exhibition or series of collections could encapsulate every aspect of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s role in local and community life, but our aim is to encourage awareness of the contribution which ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio and television have made in providing a theatre, concert hall and debating chamber of the airwaves.
