The National Library of Ireland (NLI) is the library of record for Ireland. Established in 1877, NLI share the story of Ireland with the world through their unique collections. We care for more than ten million items, including books, manuscripts, newspapers, photographs, prints, maps, drawings, ephemera, music and digital media. The Library is open, free of charge, to all those who wish to consult the collections and enjoy the Library’s services and facilities.
The National Library of Ireland (NLI) welcomed the family and friends of Richard Hayes to a special event in August to celebrate the official launch of the Richard Hayes Room at the NLI. Richard Hayes (1902-1976) lived many remarkable lives ¬– he was an academic, the Director of the National Library of Ireland from 1940-1967, a loving father, and one of World War II’s most successful Nazi codebreakers.
