SUMMARY:A Decade of Exhibitions in Armagh Robinson Library
DESCRIPTION:For over a decade the Library has hosted a variety of temporary exhibitions\, drawing objects from its own collections. \n\n\n\nThe subjects ranged from the beautiful\, extraordinary\, unknown\, interesting to the thought-provoking. \n\n\n\nIn our current temporary exhibition some of the works that were on display in the past decade have returned.  \n\n\n\nWe have highlighted different objects represented in our collections: marbled papers\, gems\, prints\, medals and medieval bronze bells. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe have also displayed some of the books that have evoked surprise and awe amongst our visitors during past exhibitions. \n\n\n\nThere are Isaac Newton’s Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica\, Paxton’s Magazine of Botany\, and Register of Flowering Plants\, the 1770 Census of Armagh\, the Breeches Bible\, a 16th century Book of Hours and Roman Missal\, a late 17th century collection of maps\, and two works by 18th century women writers\, Bluestocking Society Elizabeth Montagu and mathematician Maria Agnesi.

SUMMARY:Rokeby Lecture 2025 | The Other Bishop's Library: Thomas Percy's Books\, Ballads\, Elks and Pikes
DESCRIPTION:The Rokeby Lecture 2025\, The Other Bishop’s Library: Thomas Percy’s Books\, Ballads\, Elks and Pikes\, by Dr Frank Ferguson\, will be held on the first day of the Georgian Festival\, Thursday 27 November 2025. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr Ferguson will explore the impact of Bishop Thomas Percy of Dromore\, County Down. History has not been kind to Percy. He has not enjoyed the same renown as Archbishop Robinson of Armagh or Bishop Hervey of Downhill. However\, it could be argued that Percy’s literary endeavours as collector\, editor and patron shaped the cultural landscape of Ireland and Britain in multiple and profound ways.  \n\n\n\nFrank Ferguson will suggest that Percy’s work and approach\, set amid a time of political upheaval in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century in Ireland\, offered a means to use song and poetry as a means to find common ground\, religious tolerance and reconciliation. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nFrank Ferguson is the Research Director for English Language and Literature at Ulster University. An experienced researcher in Irish literary studies\, he has written and edited a number of publications on Irish and Northern Irish literature including\, Ulster-Scots Writing\, an Anthology\, (Four Courts\, 2008) Revising Robert Burns and Ulster: literature\, religion and politics\, c.1770-1920 (Four Courts 2009) John Hewitt\, A North Light (Four Courts\, 2013. He is the editor of Balancing Acts: Conversations with Gerald Dawe on a Life in Poetry (Irish Academic Press 2023). He has managed a number of major projects on Irish writing. He is the current Chair of the John Hewitt Society\, a Governor of the Linen Hall Library and a Committee Member of the Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund.
