linen hall library
The
oldest library in Belfast, which houses the definitive
archive of the recent Troubles. Funding supports computer-based
cataloguing and conservation of key collections.
“The
generous donation from The American Ireland Fund has enabled
us to preserve and conserve a number of important Irish
maps from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and
to repair and restore the bindings of a number of eighteenth
and nineteenth century Irish books.”
