Stair agus Oidhreacht Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann
National Library of Ireland exterior.
Join us online for this Dublin Festival of History talk as Gaeilge.
Díreoidh an chaint seo ar oidhreacht ailtireachta agus luathstair na Leabharlainne Náisiúnta. Bainfidh sé leas as meascán de ghrianghraif stairiúla ón gCartlann Náisiúnta Ghrianghrafadóireachta, léaráidí ailtireachta agus íomhánna níos nua‑aimseartha chun scéal bunaithe na Leabharlainne, agus na daoine a chruthaigh í, a insint. This talk will focus on the architectural heritage and early history of the National Library. It will draw on a mixture of historic photographs from the National Photographic Archive, architectural drawings and more recent images to tell the story of the foundation of the National Library, and those who created it.
