The Don McLane Library

Over the past number of years we have succeeded in building up a collection of books relating mainly to family history research and to Irish history. We now have enough books to call our collection a library, and an area off the main museum has been set up with book shelves, tables and chairs.

Many of these books have been donated by one of our patrons, Don Mc Lane, and as a gesture of appreciation we have dedicated the library to him. This is not a lending library but visitors may request access to it and will be very welcome to sit and enjoy the books. There is no charge for this. This library consists of such books as ‘The Annals of the Four Masters’ and eight volumes of ‘The search for missing friends’. A catalogue is in preparation and will be available in the library.
