Seandálaíocht - Irish for Archaeology

I have just been perusing www.britishpathe.com, a wonderful collection of old British newsreel footage from the age of empire. There's some great Irish material capturing aspects of Irish life long since gone. I've linked to a few here but I'd recommend having a good browse through the thousands of clips on the site. 

There is a nice selection of Irish related material here if you want to skip to the popular stuff.
