| dc.description.abstract | A study is currently being undertaken to characterise the accumulation
rate, distribution, particle size, type and source of dust
in the Old Library, Trinity College Dublin, in order to investigate
its impact on the collection of more than 300,000 books and
manuscripts held there. The majority (approximately 200,000
books, dating from 15th ? 19th century) are held on open shelves
in the Long Room and Gallery. As well as being a research facility,
the Old Library is an exhibition space, and a major tourist
attraction as home to a renowned medieval manuscript (the
Book of Kells, c.800).
It is open to the public
seven days a week, almost
year-round. | en |
