Spoken Treasures is a collection of local folklore and stories told by people from the Castlebridge area of Co. Wexford.

The collection was recorded and produced by artist/filmmaker Michael Fortune with participants from Castlebridge Day Care Centre between September and November 2006.

Recording took place weekly resulting in over eight hours of interview material. Due to the variety of stories, the DVD is divided into various categories according to topic for a comprehensive and thorough viewing. The collection also includes a slideshow of photographs taken throughout and a special compilation edit which was shown at the launch night.

The collection was offically launched by Celestine Rafferty, Local Studies Manager with Wexford Library Service in The Porter House, Castlebridge on Saturday the 2nd of December 2006.
