The Old Library was once the library of the Irish College when the building was a seminary. It contains 8,000 volumes (from the 15th to the 19th century), ranging from theological, historical, philosophical works, amongst other subjects.

 

More than 19,000 items are held in the Historical Archives, covering a period extending from the 14th to the 20th century. The main themes are daily life at the Irish College and the buildings which were owned by the Irish Community, the grant foundations, the religious community etc.

 

 

 

The range of research areas is wide, depending on the candidate's interests, and can focus on a historical subject, a period of time, an author, the manuscripts or printed items, the provenance of parts of the collections, the bindings etc.

We are looking for an output adding to our knowledge of the library and/or archives, and to the information which we can put into the public domain.

Priority will be given to research subjects examining a corpus of references instead of one items in particular. See below for the list of research conducted by previous fellows.
