Congratulations to the Trinity Long Room Hub on its 10th anniversary, during which time the Library has collaborated closely with the arts and humanities research institute on many exciting projects.
Highlights include The Beyond the Book of Kells lecture series which featured eight medieval manuscripts from the Library as part of the Manuscript, Print, and Book Cultures research theme.
Other initiatives include the Dublin Apocalypse symposium, featuring the specially digitised Dublin Apocalypse (TCD MS 64) of the Book of Revelation.
The Old Library’s most recent exhibition featuring the rich archive of the theatre company, Rough Magic, has provided a great platform for further synergies.
Additionally, the visiting research fellows programme hosted by Trinity Long Room Hub has enjoyed a rich collaborative relationship with Research Collections, producing many interesting publications and exhibitions. Significant research includes that of the book historian, Alex Alzemgeest on the Fagel Collection.
Other notable fellows are: Nickolay Dobronravin on his research on African and African diaspora manuscripts in the Library; Polly Ha’s The Birth of Independence; Michelle Brown who worked on the reading of the Garland of Howth; and Mark Fitzgerald who combined archival work with a biography of composer Frederick May.
We look forward to many more years of such collaboration.
