Royal College of Science for Ireland Library
As part of the Centre's Archives and Library work Dr Catherine Cox has completed a Wellcome Trust-funded project with Evelyn Flanagan, Special Collections Librarian, UCD, to make the library of the Royal College of Science for Ireland available for research. This Victorian library contains rare scientific monographs such as Zoologia medicinalis Hibernica by John K’Eogh printed in Dublin in 1739. There are also complete runs of periodicals, including the Journal of the Linnean Society, 1857-1907, which are not to be found in any other Irish library.
2 videos have been produced to highlight the project and showcase some items from the collection.
