The archbishop of Armagh, Richard Robinson, founded a Library in the city of Armagh when in the 1770s he chose to share his own collection with the local public. These special collections remain available for perusal by all to this day in a building close by the ancient Protestant cathedral. The collections on display include around 45,000 works on science, theology, medicine, history, travel, law, and history. The collections also contain coins, medals and maps. In the Long Room, various temporary exhibitions are on display in addition the archbishop’s archaeological collection. Copies of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver’s Travels with additional hand written notes are on display. The displays at Armagh Robinson Library also overspill to the nearby No 5 exhibition centre. Armagh Robinson Library holds a group of prints known as The Rokeby Collection.[1][2][3]
