Trinity College Dublin - Trinity College Museum & Library / History / Ireland / Book of Kells
You might at first start asking yourself why would I go to visit a college in the city that am travelling to? That is actually not the case, because going to Trinity College in Dublin is about checking the old buildings and also visiting the library that is considered from the oldest around the world.
Full name - The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin.
Trinity College Dublin, Ireland is located in College Green opposite the Irish Houses of Parliament. It is built on 47 acres and contains the Library of Trinity College which has over 6.2 million printed volumes of manuscripts, maps and music - including the Book of Kells.
Trinity College was found in 1592 and it was originally established beside Dublin City Walls. This college is considered Ireland's oldest university and is actually one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland.
Trinity College was partially established as a means of consolidating the Tudor Monarch's rule of Ireland. Among the different things and stories told about Trinity College in Dublin is that is was commonly seen as a predominantly protestant institution, were professorships, fellowships, and scholarships were originally reserved for protestants. This rule was then changed in 1873 to further include the catholic community as well.
The campus of Trinity College is actually a huge one and there are specific things to be spotted in addition to all these old buildings that form the college. There is the important library which is considered from the oldest in the country and there is also Samuel Beckett Theatre and the Douglas Hyde Gallery which are found on the campus and should be checked while being there.
Regardless the studies that one could get and receive from this college, it is important to mention some of the important ranks that this college received when it took part in different polls. In 2010, Forbes placed Trinity College as one of the 15 most beautiful college campuses to be found around the world and that of course comes in addition to lots of the other things that it might have been part of.
Many of the different old buildings which are part of Trinity College are found on the western side of the campus with its modern science buildings being developed on the east. The buildings on the college site range from works of both older architecture and more contemporary structure; visiting this campus will be about a mixture of both, the modern and the old, and that will be enough to explain why this campus is considered one of the best to be found all around the world.
One of the different things that highlight Trinity College in Dublin is the Book of Kells which is a 9th century illuminated manuscript that contains the four gospels of the new testament and which Trinity College was actually its home.
The Book of Kells will take us to one of the most visited touristic attractions in Dublin, Ireland, which is Trinity College Library where the Book if Kells is placed and which is considered the oldest manuscript to be contained in the library. The Library of Trinity College is the largest research library in all of Ireland and it is considered one of the oldest attractions of the city for the old and rare documents that one could find inside.
Walking inside the library is in itself a feeling we won't be able to describe, but the closest thing we could say is that it feels like walking back in history with the atmosphere, the statues and all those old books which are surrounding you from every corner. Due to the library's historic stance, it is considered a legal deposit library for the United Kingdom and assumes a similar role in Ireland as well. The library is also entitled a copy of every single book published in Great Britain and Ireland, which means that over 100,000 new items are added to the library every single new year; just WOW!
There are actually more than five million books in the library of Trinity College and it is also home to manuscripts, maps, and printed music; we believe this is considered enough to attract any person visiting Dublin and let him go to this place.
This is one of the highlights of Dublin city, but you could also visit Dublinia Viking Museum ( have a walk by River Liffey ( have a walk in the famous shopping place which is Grafton Street ( or else go to the Mansion House which is located there as well ( and there are also other places which you could add to the list of course.
Trinity College Dublin courses or Trinity College Dublin tours, both could be done in this top ranking college and both will give you what you need at the end of the road.

The National Library of Ireland: Building and Promoting the Irish Web Archive, by Maria Ryan (National Library of Ireland)
------------------
The National Library of Ireland (NLI) has been thematically archiving the Irish web since 2011. By creating the web archive, we are ensuring the preservation of a record of the online life of Ireland. This case study will examine the NLI’s efforts to engage with the general public and promote this new and innovative collection.
In 2016, we undertook our largest project to date. “Remembering 1916, Recording 2016” focused on recording the online repersentation of both the events of 1916, including the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme, and the commemorations of 2016.
A specific aim of the project was to further engage with our users and the general public. We have increased awareness of the NLI’s web archive by launching a social media campaign across Twitter, Facebook and our blog. As a result, we have seen an increase in the numbers of people using our web archive collections.
We collaborated with our colleagues in galleries, museums,libraries and archives nationwide and also academics from different disciplines. They suggested websites that should be included in the web archive.
This case study will also examine the process and outcomes of our community collecting programme. This programme is encouraging the general public to submit suggestions as to what website they felt best remember the events of 1916 and what website reflected life in Ireland in 2016. A selection of these websites will be preserved and made available in the NLI’s web archive.

Thérèse McIntyre - Speaking at The 1916 Song Project (The National Library of Ireland, Dublin)
Recorded at Thérèse McIntyre's talk at The National Library, Dublin City Dublin on Friday 15th of April 2016 as part of the 1916 Song Project.
The 1916 Song Project was a national research and performance project devised and produced by Michael Fortune and Aileen Lambert for the 2016 Commemoration Programme.
In addition to the production of new songs, Oral Historian Thérèse McIntyre presented a public talk at each of the six venues, while author Terry Moylan delivered a once-off presentation in National Library in May 2016. Thérèse McIntyre researched and presented a unique talk for each area focusing on local songs from the area prior to and following the Easter Rising. Each of these talks were recorded and are available to download from this site.
The project was supported by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal, Meath and Wexford County Councils, Galway City Council, the Arts Council, the Irish Traditional Music Archive, the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, The Town Hall Theatre and The National Library of Ireland.

The Fagel Collection at Trinity College Dublin
The Fagel Collection at Trinity College Dublin
Purchased for Trinity College in 1802, this library was assembled over a period of a century and a half by several generations of the Fagel family, many of whom held high public office in the province of Holland. It is enormously rich in French, Dutch and English works on politics, religion, economics, sciences, natural history and travel, and reflects the professional concerns of the family.
The material ranges in date from 1460 to 1799 with the greater volume of material published in the 18th century and relates to all parts of the world, but with a particular emphasis on Europe and areas outside Europe where the Dutch had trading or colonial interests.
The special nature of this collection, in terms of both its scope and condition, make it an invaluable resource of primary material for research across a number of disciplines.

Revealing Hidden Collections: How the National Library of Ireland is Trying to Try | Joanne Carroll
Revealing Hidden Collections: How the National Library of Ireland is Trying to Try | Joanne Carroll, National Library of Ireland
The NLI has been collecting and preserving published material, manuscripts and archival collections since its foundation in 1877. By 1895 the Library’s Trustees were already noting that the number of books being acquired outpaced the Library’s cataloguing resources. While the backlog doesn’t quite stretch back to 1895, it has continued to grow. We have continued to collect and preserve manuscript and other collections; making these hidden collections visible and accessible is one of our priorities.
The NLI is embarking on a pilot project to address this: Revealing Hidden Collections aims to make these uncatalogued and unavailable collections accessible to researchers. Trying a different approach to processing and cataloguing, the Library hopes to improve access to a wide variety of archive and manuscript collections, improving resources for researchers. This paper will look at the challenges facing the NLI in making its uncatalogued collections available, the current system and the project to reveal hidden collections. Through a variety of techniques the Library aims to make more of its fascinating collections available to the public; revealing hidden collections and revealing ways the National Library of Ireland can try, sometimes fail but, hopefully fail better.
Joanne is an Archivist in the Manuscripts Department of the National Library of Ireland. She previously worked on a project to catalogue and preserve the Liam O’Leary Archive; a joint project between the National Library of Ireland and the Irish Film Institute, Irish Film Archive. Joanne has also worked on the digitisation and metadata cataloguing of the Clarke Stained Glass Studios Collection for the Digital Repository of Ireland and the Library of Trinity College Dublin. She completed an MA in History from the University of Aberdeen in 2009 and an MA in Archives and Records Management from UCD in 2011.
