Relocation of the Map Library, Trinity College Library Dublin
The Map Library of Trinity College Library, Dublin, is moving to new
accommodation in the James Ussher Library to facilitate redevelopment
of the current site.
This will result in the Map Library closing to readers from 18 December
2002 to allow the transfer of collections to the Ussher Library and
also to off-campus storage. This is a large and complex operation,
given the number of maps involved (600,000+), their size and storage
methods.
Thus, the Map Library will remain closed for January and February 2003.
We regret that during this period Map Library material will not
be accessible to readers, nor will it be possible to fulfill requests
for map copies or information.
It is planned to reopen the Map Library in March 2003. We regret the
short notice of this closed period and the inconvenience to readers that
it will cause.
