As today is #WorldTourismDay, who is escaping the rain by visiting @BookOfKellsTCD + the #LongRoom? Due to #TCDOldLibrary Redevelopment Project there are not many books left on the shelves, but we have an exhibition of the Bollmann Collection of fore-edge paintings & bindings

[The Library of Trinity College Dublin @tcdlibrary]

Happy @HeritageWeek Eve! As you can imagine we❤️ all things heritage, and can't wait to make the most of what's on. A few @tcddublin events include a Library talk about our @BookOfKellsTCD #Fagel exhibition. The School of Geology is hosting an event and @TCDZooMuseum is open!

Here is a small sample 🧵of what I've been working on since starting the Manuscripts for Medieval Studies postdoc @tcdlibrary, supported by Carnegie. Lots of Psalters & Books of Hours which we're conserving & digitising to make them freely available through @DigitalColl.

[TCD Research Collections @TCDResearchColl]

TCD MS 93 Psalter contains lots of interesting annotations, from plague recipes and pen trials to notes on boldness and bashfulness. Test your palaeography skills with this #PalaeographyPuzzle!

As well as being on display physically at present, you can also view this copy of Shakespeare's First Folio in full, virtually, on Digital Collections: https://t.co/HdOeH0iBpx #Folio400 #VirtualTrinityLibrary

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Ireland's only copy of the first published edition of Shakespeare’s plays is going on display at Trinity College Dublin. The First Folio is one of the most sought-after books in the world, and Trinity's copy has some mysterious markings which may yet tell a tale of their own...

#OTD in 1940 Elizabeth Corbet Yeats died and we wanted to share her photograph album containing photographs of Dun Emer and Cuala Industries, and their members of staff and premises. Many of the photographs were presumably taken by Elizabeth herself.

We found this 'nugget' in the British Library Newspapers archive. Even in 1852 our Library collection was enviable. ;) Read our latest blog highlighting our extensive database resources. https://t.co/ZJmxCxDjHv
