Armagh Robinson Library was built two hundred and fifty years ago by Archbishop Richard Robinson, who served as Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland from 1765 until his death in 1794. The former Registry at No 5 Vicars\u2019 Hill was built in 1772 to hold precious documents and records. The Cathedral\u2019s Crypt is where Archbishop Robinson is buried. In the Cathedral there is a memorial sculpture of the Archbishop, as well as a stained-glass window, which depicts Robinson with buildings which were part of his plans for Georgian Armagh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Library staff and volunteers will explain more about the Library\u2019s treasures, and they will have additional help from Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council<\/a>\u2019s Living History Interpreters.\u00a0 In No 5, the Living History Interpreter will show people the use of seals with letter-writing in the eighteenth century.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the Library will be invited to write letters and cards for two projects, one called \u2018Filling the Void\u2019 and the other \u2018The Healing Place of the Soul\u2019.\u00a0 For the first one, poet Maria McManus will make a welcome return. During Georgian Day 2019, Maria encouraged visitors of all ages to \u2018fill the void\u2019 left, after learning that Archbishop Robinson had left in his will that all his letters were to be burned, and that request was honoured. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual artist, Catherine Willis, who is from Armagh, has created an artist\u2019s book which is called \u2018The Healing Place of the Soul\u2019 which refers to the translation of the Greek inscription carved above the Library\u2019s entrance door. Her work shows materials and objects similar to those found in the Library.\u00a0 Catherine would love visitors to write down the memories, thoughts and emotions that her artist\u2019s book trigger, items such as beeswax, biblical promise scrolls and gold leaf threads. Once the card is posted in the library drawer, it will be a memory of a time and place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgian Weekend walking tours will lead visitors through the city streets to finish on the Hill of Armagh, where the two Robinson buildings and St Patrick\u2019s Cathedral will remain open until 5.00pm.
