This new Podcast series, produced by the RDS Library & Archives, tells the story of the RDS beyond its more familiar face as Ireland’s premier events venue. Our podcast title comes from the RDS Latin motto, Nostri Plena Laboris which roughly translates as our work bears fruit. Join us as we take a deep dive into the RDS Archives to discover the fascinating history of this unique institution, which has been delivering social impact across Ireland for almost 300 years.
