SUMMARY:Exhibition | Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World : Gulliver's Travels at 300
DESCRIPTION:2026 marks the 300th anniversary of the first edition of Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the World. This work\, written by Jonathan Swift\, is commonly known as Gulliver’s Travels. \n\n\n\nThe first edition of Gulliver’s Travels was published on 28 October 1726. It sold out within a week\, and within two months a second and third edition were printed. The work was the talk of the town. \n\n\n\nThe Library is very proud to own Jonathan Swift’s own large paper copy of that first edition. This copy contains annotations by Swift’s own hand. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition explores Gulliver’s Travels as a commentary on 18th century society\, politics\, science\, education\, and human nature. \n\n\n\nIt also takes into consideration the pitfalls of the publishing process at the time\, and the consequences of Swift’s methods.

SUMMARY:European Heritage Open Days 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Library and No 5 will open for European Heritage Open Days 2026 on Saturday 12 September\, and the Library on Sunday 13 September. \n\n\n\nSaturday 12 September \n\n\n\n\nArmagh Robinson Library – 11.00am to 5.00pm\n\n\n\nNo 5 Vicars’ Hill – 11.00am to 5.00pm\n\n\n\nCathedral – 10.00am to 5.00pm\n\n\n\n\nSunday 13 September\n\n\n\n\nArmagh Robinson Library – 2.00pm to 5.00pm\n\n\n\n Due to staff shortages\, we will be unable to open No 5 on Sunday. Our sincerest apologies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme for EHOD this year is ‘Heritage at Risk: Revive\, Resist\, Reimagine’. The buildings open for this annual event will show the traditions and skills applied in their construction. It will also show how the built heritage needs to be protected for the future. More than 500 buildings and venues throughout Northern Ireland will be open for EHOD. In the City of Armagh alone\, 11 buildings will be open\, including churches and museums\, and the Hill of Armagh sits well within those categories. \n\n\n\nThe Library will have on display the 1770 original drawings of the Library building by the architect Thomas Cooley whose work is also known elsewhere in Armagh. Indeed\, the Library’s second building at No 5 Vicars’ Hill is also a Cooley design. From the outside\, No 5 looks like a modest dwelling house\, and visitors are often surprised when they actually enter the building. 18th century craftsmanship is shown off well in both buildings. \n\n\n\n\n\nSt Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral\, Armagh will also be open for EHOD on the Saturday from 10.00am to 5.00pm and will be open for services on Sunday\, but not for EHOD. Visitors may view the architecture and gain that sense of stepping back in time over many centuries on the ancient sacred site that is the Hill of Armagh.The Very Revd Shane Forster\, who is both the Dean of Armagh and Keeper of Armagh Robinson Library and No 5\, said\, “All three buildings on the Hill of Armagh\, which I am a custodian of\, tell the story of how our predecessors lived\, learned and prayed. Yet they are not museums that simply look back to the past but are architectural gems which are still open to the public today\, very much loved and relevant in the current age. Come\, explore and walk in the steps of St Patrick\, High King Brian Boru and Archbishop Richard Robinson.” \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please go to:https://discovernorthernireland.com/european-heritage-open-days/
