About
Step back into the eighteenth Century! Make your way through the beautiful Georgian front door and up an elegant staircase. Light from elegant windows lights up the Long Room of this classical library, the main visitor space. The walls are lined with rare and beautiful books from floor to ceiling. Archbishop Richard Robinson founded this Library in the heart of the City of Armagh in 1771. He wanted to share his own collection of books and fine art with the general public. These special collections remain available for consultation to this day.
