As well as having a good collection of Irish newspapers in Irish and English, including the series Irish Political and Radical Newspapers, we also have some British, French and Australian. There is a catalogue available on request at the Enquiry Desk in the Research Room.
Most newspapers are on micro- film.
The hard copy of some newspapers is held in the Library store. Access to these is by arrangement with the Staff in Q-1. Many important journals published in Ireland such as The Irish Builder, The Irish Booklover, The Bell etc. which are primary sources in their own right, are available on microfiche. We also hold a set of Eigse, Eriu, Zeitschrift fur celtische Philologie, etc. Primary sources in other formats 3.5.1.
