One of the oldest libraries in Ireland, Armagh Public Library was established in 1771 by Archbishop Robinson. In addition to the Archbishop’s personal library of books from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries books, there is archival material relating to Christian heritage in Ireland and Europe. A registered museum, the Library holds ancient Irish artefacts such as stone axes, flint arrowheads and bronze implements. Of more recent provenance is a collection of William Conor drawings, depicting costumes used in the pageant to commemorate the 1,500th anniversary of Patrick’s arrival in Ireland.
