\"EHOD2013.A5\"<\/a>Armagh Public Library and No 5 Vicars\u2019 Hill, Armagh are once again ready to take part in this year\u2019s European Heritage Open Days on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 September. \u00a0Both these 18th century buildings will be open throughout the Saturday and on the Sunday afternoon. No 5 Vicars\u2019 Hill, the former Registry, has retained many of its original features. \u00a0It displays historic examples of diocesan records, and collections and curiosities from Armagh Public Library.<\/p>\n

Extended to its present form in 1844, the Library was first built to the classical design of Thomas Cooley. His original drawings for the building will be on display. \u00a0The Library bears witness to the 18th century \u2018renaissance\u2019 of Armagh when its founder, Archbishop Richard Robinson, began to put into action his plan for Armagh to become a university city.<\/p>\n

The collections contain early printed books, illuminated manuscripts, and 18th century books on theology, philosophy, classic and modern literature, travels, history, medicine and law.<\/p>\n

This year, the Library will host one of eight art installations, produced by artists from the University of Ulster\u2019s Faculty of Art and Design. \u00a0Artist and MA student Jonny McEwen will set up a \u2018site-specific video installation\u2019, entitled \u2018a healing place for souls\u2019 in the Library\u2019s Long Room and it is hoped that this will bring even more visitors to the Library over this special weekend.<\/p>\n

Visitor access to the Library is via the public entrance, over which is an inscription in Greek which is translated to read \u2018The healing place of the soul\u2019. The staff and volunteers of the Library and No 5 are ready to welcome visitors to both buildings and their collections.<\/p>\n
