As part of the Library's Outreach and Education Programme, and in keeping with the Library's developing digital policy, major exhibitons will be made available online.
Listed below are the Online Exhibitions currently available:
Discover Your National Library
The online component of the Library's new Discover Your National Library exhibition, which opened in 2/3 Kildare St in January 2010. The website allows visitors to search the databank behind the exhibition's innovative 'Discovery' tables, which were developed in tandem with Microsoft Ireland and Martello Media. The website requires Microsoft Silverlight software, which you can download freely.
The 1916 Rising: Personalities and Perspectives
This study resource draws almost exclusively upon the collections of the National Library, including the Library’s rich holdings of books, newspapers, photographs, drawings, proclamations and, not least, manuscript material. In all, over 500 images have been selected for study and analysis.
Yeats: The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats
An online, interactive version of the major exhibition, Yeats: The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats, which opened in the Library's main exhibiton area in 2006. The online version features thousands of images of manuscripts and books from the Yeats Library and other Library collections presented, along with audio recordings and video, through a series of interactive displays.
