The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Ireland

Additional Books

In March 2007 we did a cull of the library; books of historic interest were transferred to Quaker House, where they remain accessible, while some others were sold off, or are in process of being sold off or disposed of. The following lists are subject to revision, but they approximate to what we think happened. It was done in a hurry, with inadequate resources; we kept records as best we could. RJ 22/09/2007.

Recent Accessions

In December 2007 we received a substantial donation from Brian and Marie-Therese Farrell, picked up via book sales, and I list them here, with their provisional allocation to topic shelves. This list can be seen as an updating add-on to the printed catalogue, pending a reprint thereof. I add these titles, and subsequent ones received prior to reprinting, into the web-site catalogue as we go along, so that the web-site catalogue is up to date. RJ 22/12/2007.

Pamphlet-type books transferred to the pamphlet display area

Books of which the title is not displayed in the spine have been catalogued, but they are hard to keep track of; the following list is subject to revision. They are displayed with their covers visible, as far as possible, on the display shelf above the piano. They lend themselves to separation into historic and current groups; current on the left, historic on the right.
