The document describes a demonstrator project for the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) called the Media Envelope. The Media Envelope allows users to search and browse digitized Irish newspaper and broadcast archives from 1973. It provides a calendar view of content organized by date and source. The tool also includes features for personalization, search, user login, and metadata filtering. The goal of the demonstrator project is to test DRI's ability to ingest, organize and provide access to different media formats from cultural institutions.
