Founded in 1701, Marsh's Library was the first public library in Ireland and celebrated its 300th anniversary in 2001. The library contains over 25,000 books relating to the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, covering medicine, law, science, travel, navigation, mathematics, music, surveying and classical literature. The full library catalogue is available for searching here.
The library is open to the public, and particularly welcomes scholars and students.
In recognition of the remarkable achievements of Muriel McCarthy in her long service as Keeper of Marsh's Library, the Governors are pleased to announce the establishment of a Research Fellowship fund in her name. Contributions are invited. Please see here for details.
