Dublin City Library and Archive
Opening Hours
In January 2025, the Dublin City Library and Archives team will be carrying out essential collections work behind the scenes, preparing material for future access. As a result, appointments to view archives and special collections cannot be facilitated in January 2025. Appointments will be available as usual from the 4 February 2025. The study spaces at DCLA Reading Room will still be available during January.
Dublin City Library and Archives can be contacted throughout January via phone and email: [email protected] or 01 222 4999. Find out more about the collections available at the Reading Room.
Open study spaces are also available in a section of the reading room from Monday to Thursday, 10am to 8pm and Friday to Saturday 10am - 5pm. You do not need a library or research card to access this space.
