Frommer's Review

If you're coming to Ireland to research your roots, this library should be one of your first stops (along with the Heraldic Museum). It has thousands of volumes and records that yield ancestral information. Opened at this location since 1890, this is the principal library of Irish studies. It's particularly noted for its collection of first editions and the papers of Irish writers and political figures, such as W.B. Yeats, Daniel O'Connell, and Patrick Pearse. It also has an unrivaled collection of maps of Ireland.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
