Celebrate National Heritage Week with us at the James Hardiman Library


National Heritage Week runs from the 21st to the 29th August, and to mark the week the James Hardiman Library is hosting an exhibition based on the Balfour Album, a collection of photographs done by the Belfast photographer Robert J Welch between 1893 and 1895, and presented to the former Chief Secretary of Ireland, Arthur J. Balfour in recognition of his support for the Galway to Clifden Railway. It features scenes along the Railway, and will be augmented with other book and archival material from the Library’s holdings.
