MOVE OF PRESBYTERIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY TO NEW PREMISES AND TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF THE LIBRARY
The proposed re-development of Church House in Belfast requires the Historical Society to vacate its present accommodation on the second floor. It will not be returning to Church House where the Society has been based since 1906 so it the end of an era. Union College Theological Management Committee have offered the Society accommodation at 26 College Green which is beside Union College. The Council of the Society have accepted this offer.
To accommodate the Historical Society Library in 26 College Green provision has to made for a ramp and upgraded toilet and kitchen facilities as well as fitting out of the premises. In addition there will also be removal costs. It is estimated that the total cost of the move will be at least £20,000. The Society has very limited resources so it is appealing for financial help in this unique situation. We are very grateful to those who have already given generous donations. If you feel you can make a donation it should be forwarded to Miss Valerie Adams at the Presbyterian Historical Society Library at Church House, Fisherwick Place, Belfast, BT1 6DW
To facilitate the move it will be necessary to close the Library from Monday 6 September 2010 until further notice. The Librarian will continue to answer e-mails and telephone enquiries but may not be able to give definitive responses as the material may not be accessible. We ask for your patience and forbearance at this time.
