TCD's 1872 Printed Catalogue online

The 1872 Printed Catalogue lists the books received in the TCD Library up to 1872. The printed copies of this catalogue were available to date in small numbers, placed in some of the Library's Reading Rooms.

Professor John G. Byrne (Department of Computer Science) and his team of research students have developed an extremely useful online version. The indices have been built using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the images of actual entries can be viewed.
