10. Feedback Day 1
Good to see about
the different
sources and how
to use the
catalogue.
Enjoyable. Learned
more about NLI which
I knew little about it.
Today will help me in
the years to come due
to the resources
shown today and how
to use them.
11. Feedback Day 2
The things like the
comic and the radio

done before. But as
an android user I
can’t get most of
the apps

Notes de l'éditeur
The National Library inherited newspapers from the Joly Collection of the Royal Dublin Society. Dr. Robert Jasper Joly donated his library to the RDS in 1863, with the proviso that it be transferred to a National Library if established.
In 1922 after the foundation of the Irish Free State, the Chief Secretary’s office in Dublin Castle handed over its collection of newspapers from the NLI. Dublin Castle was the seat of the British administration in Ireland and the chief secretary would have been concerned with matters of security and defence. They would have used the newspapers of the day for surveillance purposes; to find out about nationalist and republican societies, events and movements e.g. if people like Tom Clarke made a speech somewhere the newspapers would record it.
Since 1927 Library has legal deposit status for newspapers, which means we get a copy of every newspaper published in Ireland
