Armagh Robinson Library and No 5 hold many wonderful collections of manuscripts, printed books, pamphlets and periodicals, atlases, prints, coins, gems, medals and archaeological artifacts. Our visit to the Library and No.5 truly exceeded our expectations. We were warmly received, expertly guided and left feeling like we had had the full VIP experience.
Amazing library, with history over a centuries old, beautiful staff that go far and beyond to assist you with your Ancestory. We were invited by member of the Northern Armagh Family History Society to join them for an evening tour of the Robinson Library. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. For the first time I was actually allowed (wearing white gloves) to have a look inside the tomes I always see in libraries in stately homes.
